PRESS STATEMENT

107 Eun Hae Jigger Re-floated
Following a multi-agency operation extending over several days, the jigger 107 Eun Hae was re-floated just before 09:00 this morning, with no injuries and no apparent pollution.
The vessel is now at anchor in Port Egmont whilst propulsion and manoeuvrability checks are completed. On completion of those checks, the vessel will be escorted by the British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI) tug Dintelstroom and FPV Lilibet to open water and then to Stanley for further checks.
After what has been another busy period for the Falkland Islands Maritime Authority and a range of maritime responders, the Falkland Islands Government would like to extend sincere thanks to all those instrumental in executing the successful recovery operation, especially BFSAI for releasing the tug Dintelstroom, the hugely professional tug crew and Byron Marine Chief Pilot and to the Pole-Evans family for their support and flexible response at the scene.
