Lots of reports but most say 15feet and that H&S have confiscated the lifting rigs

The loco apparently has not been removed from the ship and will not be but returned to Canada

there are reports of an American Scrap company is already in place BUT this is probably spurious as Insurance inspectors have not been allowed on ship and the loco and ship are in the hands of the H&S Exec
