Chilean authorities are due to okay a salvage plan for a wellboat newbuilding that sank in October.
The 2,500-dwt live fish carrier Seikongen (built 2017) went down off Puerto Montt.
Its 67,000 litres of oil have been removed, while a large part of the cargo of salmon has also been taken from the vessel.
The owner, CPT Empresa Maritima, is now awaiting navy approval for the salvage.
The vessel suffered damage and began taking on water during loading.
It was partially submerged in 10 metres of water, 200 metres from shore.
