eNCA News posted an update today on the ongoing salvage of the MV Smart and the potential environmental impact of the cargo of coal that is open to the sea.

In a statement obtained by East Coast Radio, Captain Nigel Campbell from SAMSA notes that the pumping operation to remove the fuel oil is about one-third of the way complete.
