Update: Towing of Lysblink Seaways Set for Tomorrow

Copenhagen-based shipping company DFDS Logistics Rederi AS, the owners of the Lysblink Seaways, have confirmed that the delivery port agreed with the salvors will be Inchgreen, Greenock on the Firth of Clyde.

A voyage passage plan is being finalised and, weather permitting, the tow may commence on Wednesday, the UK Coastguard said in an update.

Svitzer Salvage has a team on board and continue to prepare the Lysblink Seaways for her tow to the repair facility.

The vessel will remain anchored at Scallastle Bay in the Sound of Mull until a decision is made by Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State’s representative Maritime Salvage and Intervention to allow her to move.

A temporary exclusion zone of 100 metres remains in place.

Lysblink Seaways ran aground north of the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland, on February 18th.
