She is due in Tauranga at about 8am on Sunday so if all goes to plan I will be down photographing her. I read it was only in one corner of the bridge so it may not even be noticable.

The Lake Arafura has completed loading and is in a general berth under going repairs. It is interesting that there is not noticable damage on the outside of the superstructure. She is due to depart for China on Friday.

I have uploaded a picture of her today.

Thanks for updating, ironically enough, Wagenborgs 'Dintelborg' had a similar fire offshore Cape Cod, MA about a month ago. She was towed to Providence, Rhode Island, and is still undergoing repairs.  Here are some pics of her being towed into port:
