Drifting to the NNE
Two (2) Harvey tugs enroute – ETA to rig ~ 0200 (Tue), USCG seeking additional resources

With last reported location and movement, poses no threat to Shell assets at this time.

Will provide update on location and movement when received from USCG.

Following is a preliminary trajectory – heading towards Thunderhorse at 1-2 knots.
They say Thunderhorse's moon pool would swallow most platforms in the GOM.
