I'm amazed that it didn't roll over during the storms the other night. The tug operators really earned their wages!

Well the salvers have been working hard and they've managed to pump out a fair bit of water but had to shift the pump due to contamination. The Hoegh Osaka is currently moving back upright and is now listing at 48 degrees instead of 52 degrees. Word is they hope to have the ship back in port on Wednesday which will be quite an achievement!

Well the anchor is up and now underway towards Southampton - she has a list of around 5 degrees.

Should be alongside in a few hours - Amazing really!

I have been following this as well. Do they know what caused the problem yet? Thanks again for keeping us informed.

It's in the hands of the MCA now to determine the cause. I suspect it'll be a computer error on the ballast tanks. I'd think the chief engineer might be in trouble though.
