Contractors attended the site and cleared the blockage. However, the pumpout remains not working as there is a significant fault with the sub chambers which are unable to hold the contents of the pumpout. It is in discussion what is the next stage for the pumpout. We will update the notice when there is more information available regarding the decision that is to be made. The closest pumpout is at Stanley Ferry.

We are still establishing a joint visit between the 2 contractors as the issues appear to be more complicated than originally perceived. As soon as we receive any further updates we will update the notice.

Unfortunately, the joint visit today were unable to resolve the issue. The chamber was drained to a level that it was established the pump is working and sat correctly. The tanker had a limited capacity so the full contents of the chamber was unable to be completely emptied as wished. It also appears that there may be other issues as to why the pump is not working which need to be investigate further.

We will need another joint visit from both contractors in the near future. We will update the notice when we have further information. The next closest pumpout available is at Stanley Ferry.
