HOEGH Autoliners is believed to found most ro-ro cargo undamaged by the accident in which its 51,000-dwt Hoegh Osaka was run aground after listing 50 degrees three weeks ago after leaving Southampton, reports Lloyd's Loading List.
Hoegh said that all cargo, apart from some large units on the main deck, appeared to have been held by their lashings, and while there had been water on the lower car decks, only a limited number of vehicles were affected.
The company said discharge was proceeding and expected to continue over the next few days. The discharge began after British authorities made their inspections and found little damage to the vessel.
Once the vehicles had been landed, proper cargo surveys would take place by the cargo owners and their surveyors, the company added.
The car transporter was grounded deliberately on January 3 to prevent it sinking after it began taking on water and listing. Hoegh praised the pilot and master "without those decisions we might not have had the vessel alongside".
