The mobilisation of pumping equipment which will be used to refloat the vessel has begun, although a final decision about how the vessel will be disposed of has not yet been made.

The options being considered are for the vessel to be cut up and removed or refloated and towed away for break up or placement on the seabed.

Whichever option is chosen, the operation to refloat the vessel will require good weather.  Weather permitting the vessel should be ready for refloatation by the end of June.  

Although all accessible oils have been removed, there will be some oils retained within the hull structure.  It is possible that this residual oil will be released into the sea during any refloating or cutting up operation.  Procedures will be in place to contain and manage any oil, although it would be in such small quantity that a release would quickly disperse.

Recent tests of water samples taken from within the hull of the ship indicate that toxicity levels are not of concern.

Patching of Number 5 hold is complete.  Water ingress points in Number 7 hold have been sealed and are being air tested.  Patching in number 4 hold is continuing.

Skimming is continuing in the engine room, passage ways and number 6 hold.

There have been no new reports of oil at sea or on shore.    Three sides of a container have been located and recovered at Golden Cap - its identification number to be confirmed.
