It's owned by a Japanese shipping firm and they are paying bill for it's removal off the beach.

And they are talking about taking it to Queensland (approx 800 miles) to do repairs when there is sufficient space within 20 miles where it can be done.

Money can certainly talk  :-[ . Someone must be quoting really cheap for that to be a consideration.

Regards

Yes Judge you are right, but they are saying that it is to large to go into the Dry Dock in Newcastle Harbour.
