As per the title really,

Ship capsized on the Solent and beached itself, all the New channels cover it making it headline news, We know it had a small hole in the side due to one of the diggers breaking loose and piercing the side of the ship, we were told of the stock onboard the ship, then the ship refloated and was towed further down the channel.

So where is it now? Have they now got it upright, have they started unloading the stock onboard?

Any of you guys in the area care to update us?

Nothing on the Media News for weeks frown

Thanks.

Yep,
Plenty going on behind the scenes. A chum of mine is a marine engineer involved heavily with this, and it's been very interesting. Unfortunately, much of the stuff he has shared is not for public consumption yet, but it'll all come out in the wash!
