An operation to tow a cargo ship stranded off the Royal national park, south of Sydney, to safety before further bad weather sweeps in has been “progressing well”, with efforts expected to continue well into Monday night.
The New South Wales Port Authority said while “not out of the woods” yet, the operation to save the Portland Bay was “heading in the right direction”. As of 6pm on Monday, the vessel was 2.5 nautical miles from shore amid volatile conditions.
