Good for them getting her off. I see she is now stopped/anchored towards the Sheringham.

It will be the weekend before there are increasing heights of tides to give the tugs any real chance of getting her off. They need proper salvage tug(s).

Looks as if Gemini is surveying around. The ship will be settling in the sand by now, making it harder to pull her off without lightening and that would be difficult. If the weather deteriorates, they could be in big trouble.

A lot more bollard pull needed to get a loaded 4,500 tons details ship of the Haisbro Sands. A bad place. The Muros' stern gear most likely damaged. So far lucky with the weather.

Hello Davidships,
There appears to be a small tus, RT Adriaan lying off in deeper water.

I'm very pleased to see that calls are being made for the re-instatement of a tug on the West coast of Scotland. That the Balder Viking had to go from the East coast is crazy, but at least she did it.
