Hoegh Osaka: More water being pumped from car decks

This in from the MCA, in their own words. Ed


Winds in the Solent around the Hoegh Osaka reached 60 knots last night. She was held secure by the tugs.

The salvors are aboard the vessel adjusting the ballast system and hope to start pumping water from the car decks over the next 24 hours.

If the good weather continues to allow the salvors to work we will hope there will be a reduction in the list of the vessel over the next few days.

Divers are hoping to carry out an inspection of the hull today.
