Update on Transocean Winner
Final preparations for moving the
Transocean Winner rig onto the Hawk vessel are continuing and good progress has
been made on the operation in Broad Bay.
The Hawk has almost completed ballasting and is making final preparations to receive the rig.
The anchors have now been
disconnected and the rig is being held on four tugs about half a mile from the
Hawk.
The Hawk has almost completed ballasting and is making final preparations to receive the rig.
Weather conditions are improving
by the hour and if this continues then it is extremely likely that the rig will
be floated over the Hawk later this morning or early this afternoon.
As long as the weather holds, the
Transocean Winner will be loaded onto the Hawk and taken out of the water
within the next 24 hours. The operation itself is, however, going to be
lengthy.
