This is from a Spanish website from Jan 26, as I understand, dealing with salvage attempts progressing slowly - perhaps someone can give a rough translation?

Hi Timsen,

It's a mix of my previous posts.
Regarding the works to tow her, no new reports released at the moment (Jan 27, 1000 utc).

According to a very short report released on Salvamento Maritimo website (the Spanish Maritime Safety and Rescue Agency) the vessel was sighted overturned by the rescue tug ALONSO DE CHAVES today early in the morning and she finally sank about 33 miles N of Burela
