Dear James Braganza Captain of Ports Just giving you updates photos on 27th Aug 2017 at 19 hrs taken by me. This will give you a latest idea about the angle of tilting of the vessel Lucky Seven. I have noticed that number of gas cylinders were unloaded today at 18 hrs from a pick up standing at Miramar roadside and workers seen rolling them to the vessel . ( see photos). Some cylinders were already been unloaded from the vessel ( see eight photographs attached) and all the cylinders are together. I was told by reliable sources that these are meant for the welding work and cutting some parts in the hull. The lower deck is almost full of sea water and there is no chance to increase further as the sea level is shallow. It appears that the hull is already broke say 20 meters long as reported by press, and day by day it is becoming bigger and bigger and in my opinion by 7th Sept the salvage operations as planned or if accepted by salvage Co., will be extremely difficult to tow the vessel and may create lots of complications for the salvage group. I am sure that if it is towed, the bottom of the ship ( hull) is going to be destroyed completely as corrosion has already been set in. I think the Government may have to answer if something really goes wrong. You must be in a better position to know the actual internal picture of the hull since you might have already visited the ship. I was told that heavy chain blocks and some heavy machinery has already been unloaded a week back with the help of JCB crane into the trucks at Miramar roadside.
