#SolentSalvage – So far about 800 tons of water has been pumped from the stricken vehicle-transporter Hoegh Osaka.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the operation was "going well" but said progress was slower than Saturday's start because they have to reposition the pump so only clean water is discharged.

It said the vessel, which is being secured by tugs off Lee-on-the-Solent (and during the recent storm), is unlikely to be moved to Southampton Port before Wednesday.
