UPDATE: HOEGH OSAKA
Over the last 24 hours the salvors have been making an on
board assessments of the vessel.
The cargo is still in position. On one deck plant has
moved and caused a slight crack in the hull. There has been a small ingress of
water below the water line but this was rapidly dealt with when discovered by
the salvors and there is no evidence of pollution.
The salvors are continuing with their assessment and
depending on the outcome of their findings today the salvors will either work
to secure the ship in preparation for the expected bad weather or, if the
opportunity arises, to refloat it.
We do not expect to be in a position to confirm which of
these options will happen before first light tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
