Overnight the situation has remained stable. There has been continuous pumping of fuel from the OS 35 vessel although at a slightly slower pace than predicted. It is expected that this operation will be completed during the course of the day.
Continuous monitoring has been in place throughout the night including drone and land based thermal imagining.
An assessment is being made to determine if any oil is leaking from the submerged tanks.
HMGoG will continue to inform the public on any updates throughout the course of the morning and the Gibraltar Contingency Council will convene at 12pm.
