Beached Indonesian Navy Vessel To Be Towed

29 August 2007
The Indonesian naval ship that ran around near Queensland's Fraser Island a week ago will be towed to Brisbane later this evening. The Australian Navy says a tug boat is en route to Inskip Point to tow the Arung Samudera south where it will be berthed at Bulimba. They say the Indonesian Government's negotiations with possible repair contractors are continuing, but the ship will not be fixed in time for it to participate in APEC activities in Sydney. Commander Forbes Peters says good conditions are predicted for a smooth salvage operation. "The ship is expected to be completely afloat on the high tide we have this evening," he said. "The Indonesians have planned to conduct the salvage tonight because it's full moon, high tide and a very gentle breeze." Commander Peters says they expect a high-tide pull off at around 7:00pm AEST this evening. source: ABC News Tags : , , , ,
