August 26th
Following our previous reports related to the subject, please kindly note that Coast Guard has completed the bathymetry in the area where m.v. GLEAMSTAR ran aground, and they have officially determined at 1200 hrs LT that main navigation channel is fully open with a restriction of a maximum sailing draft of 10,36 (0,998 FW). Therefore, traffic is going back to normal and all vessels which were stopped for being sailing overdrafted of 8,70 mts, are resuming their in/out bound navigation. (Up to the new maximum allowed official draft). Hopped Dredger CAPITAN NUÑEZ is still working in the area.
We'll keep you posted.
