FROM THE MSC NAPOLI RESPONSE CENTRE

Skimming of oil from Number 6 hold and the engine room is continuing.  The amount of oil has reduced quite considerably.

The crane barge has continued to remove containers from below deck and work is progressing steadily.

The shuttle barge Viking V has transferred containers for processing to Portland Port.

There have been no new reports of oil at sea.   Oiled debris washed ashore at Chezil beach at the weekend has been dealt with.

Water sampling is continuing, with nothing to report.
