A Singapore-registered container ship, stranded near Cheung Chau for more than a month after hitting an underwater object near Nansha, has been towed to a Hong Kong ship repair yard, reported the South China Morning Post.
Most of the fuel and containers carrying dangerous goods had already been offloaded. The remaining cargo would be unloaded from the 39,916 deadweight tonne Kota Kado now that the vessel was at Tsing Yi.
The ship was taken to Tsing Yi after salvage crews temporarily patched holes in the hull, pumped water out of the bow and cargo area and refloated the vessel on July 27.
The ship, built in 2005 and which has the capacity to carry 3,000 TEUs, was moved to HUD Ship Repair following the approval of a salvage plan this week.
It is owned by privately held Singaporean company Pacific International Lines (PIL).
A report from Hong Kong's Maritime Rescue and Co-ordination Centre said the bow and two cargo holds were flooded after the ship hit an unidentified object on June 29.
