On September 30, after several attempts throughout the spring and summer, Magone Marine was able to pull the vessel from the beach and re-float it. It has been towed to Dutch Harbor and is safely moored at the Magone Marine dock. The fuel bladders and fuel from the vessel, which were located upland from the grounding site were safely removed.
