Napoli was refloated after a two hours operation this morning and is now under the control of tugs. She is to be taken into deeper water so that divers and other surveyors can assess her condition before she is taken away
Napoli is afloat

Destination is still not known as MCA and others have yet to decide. They had better hurry up, though, don't you think?
I just hope they don't carry out their earlier plan of scuttling her in deep water in the Channel

Extraodinary really isn't it?! They've had months to decide yet they haven't!

Extraordinary, not quite. Until they are fully aware of her condition, and the weather forecasts, where she goes is not easy to decide.
As I understand it they are now awaiting a condition report before deciding.

What are the options? Drydock, Breakers, or Davey Jones?

They've had months to decide, and have. They'll have several options available to them, each dependent on the weather and state of the hull.

I imagine that the final decision can only be made following inspection of the hull while it is subject to dynamic forces afloat. Wasn’t a dodgy hull lengthening job the trigger for this whole saga?

Presumably the decision to refloat is based on more than a Navtex 48 hour weather report. Do we have a period of settled weather ahead and could now be a good time to start a summer cruise?

A fix in a Vietnam yard after going onto rocks at speed off Singapore I believe.
