Great Scott !! All very exciting stuff. I see the SINGAPORE is on the way out now (midday local time) to the Rena site. I expect shes got her towing gear ready to deploy..

If, if,if, bay 7 fills up, no hatch cover, she will slowly go backwards down in 50 mtr depth.

Heartbreaking to see the ship in that condition, but spectacular photos. Curious to see what Svitzer and MNZ do now - MNZ seems to be scrambling to contain the debris field from their updates.
