The South African Maritime Safety Authoritys Samsa investigation into the FV Silver Dorado fire and grounding near Cape Recife is continuing as teams make steady progress with clean-up and recovery operations.
The vessel, which was carrying approximately 14 tonnes of diesel fuel, 100 litres of lubricants, and eight 19kg LPG gas cylinders, was grounded on the evening of January 12 after a fire broke out on board.
All 21 crew members were evacuated and transferred, uninjured, to Gqeberha port on the same night. No fish cargo was on board.
