Hoegh Osaka: Solent salvage continues after ship refloats

The operation to salvage the Hoegh Osaka, which was beached in the Solent, is continuing with salvage teams hoping to board the ship again soon.

The 51,000 tonne ship unexpectedly floated off the sandbank on which it had been stranded on Wednesday but has been secured.

The salvage team hope to right the listing vessel before taking it into port.
