Overnight work has continued onboard the vessel.
The situations in both the Engine Room and Cargo Hold 5 remain stable.
REMOVING FUEL
Pumping operations continued, further reducing the amount of oil onboard the vessel.
Operations concentrated on Engine Room Lub tanks, all of which have now been pumped out.
HIGH WINDS AFFECT BOOMS
High wind conditions created difficulties for the response teams on site, and have particularly affected booms.
The second boom around the vessel has been displaced but not damaged.
Similarly, the boom at Catalan Bay has also been displaced with some parts of the boom reaching shore. Works to tackle this are ongoing.
The Gibraltar Contingency Council will reconvene at 12:00pm, or earlier if required, at No 6 Convent Place.
