Removal is completed at this time and NRC is demobilizing. We removed 95 gallons of diesel and 12+ quart containers of lube oil. The engine compartment was flooded with water and the lubes inside the engine had already been lost some time ago. It was necessary to pump water to access the fuels but this has not appeared to change the position or stability of the vessel at this time. The line used to help stabilize the vessel has been detached and it is holding on its anchor as before. It is taking on water again (as expected).
