The UK’s Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) said Sunday the Hoegh Osaka remained stable at a 48 degree list. Salvors had managed to pump 800 tonnes of clean water from the vessel, and are planning to pump out 3,000 tonnes in total.
“The operation will continue today [Sunday] but progress will be slower as divers have to reposition the pump to ensure only clean water is discharged,” MCA said.
The Hoegh Osaka, which is a holding position 2nm from where she was deliberately grounded after developing a severe list, will not now be moved to the port of Southampton before Wednesday.
