It is too early at this stage to make any decisions in relation to the possible replacement of Asgard II.

Arrangements are being made at the moment to visit the site where Asgard II sank on the 11th September where a survey will be undertaken to establish her status. No decisions will be made until the results of this survey are made available and examined in detail.
