Yacht Hop, the London-flagged vessel, has been stranded in Nettle Bay for more than a month despite several attempts to escape. First, to lighten the boat, its fuel was pumped out. Now the release is again made difficult because the boat has in the meantime hit a rock, causing an infiltration. For two days, a Dutch company has been pumping (unpolluted) water on board and is then responsible for plugging the breach. The boat should be cleared at the end of the week. Maritime Affairs is also investigating the grounding conditions. More details on www.soualigapost.com
