We don't need to tell the folks over at Kiawah Island that the blue hulled Nanami remains an unwelcomed visitor. The fishing boat has enjoyed a steady stream of onlookers since her grounding on Friday.
Efforts to fee the vessel have been slow and at this point costly. Charleston Marine Services, which has been contracted to remove the vessel has successfully removed approximately 900 gallons of fuel. Approximately 250 gallons of fuel and oils remain aboard the vessel.
Contractors will attempt to remove the vessel from the beach and my need to did a small channel to refloat the vessel. Effort will continue on Wednesday.
