Representatives from the MSC Baltic have advised as of May 14th salvage operations are ongoing. Approximately 30% of the bulk oil onboard has been removed by barge, the third of six tanks containing heavy fuel is nearly pumped down and 14 additional containers have been removed from the vessel.
A short road has been developed to enhance heavy oil removal by multi-purpose vehicle as this provides all-weather access and improved removal capacity.
FFAW continues to have routine status update meetings with salvage operator groups.
