Some cargo, fuel removed from grounded Dutch MPP

Salvors Ardent and Multraship joined Wagenborg Shipping to remove 270 tonnes of cargo and 28 tonnes of marine gas oil from the 3,250-dwt Priscilla (built 2009) that grounded in Scottish waters on 17 July.

Preparations are ongoing to refloat the Dutch-flagged ship that remains stable but hard aground with six crew members safe on board, UK’s Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) said.
