The Department of Land and Natural Resources reported today that water intrusion has occurred through different parts of the 75-foot passenger vessel that ran aground near Kewalo Basin Saturday.

The contractor hired by the boat’s owner is going to disperse foam into the boat’s hull to prevent any more water intrusion so that it will be able to float, DLNR spokesman Ryan Aguilar said.

The contractor estimates it likely will be another two to three days before there is another attempt to refloat the boat that ran aground off Kewalo Basin, Aguilar said.

The Coast Guard said today there have been no major updates.

The Discovery had operated as a shuttle for Atlantis Adventures, and is secured to the seawall at Kewalo Basin awaiting commercial salvage, the Coast Guard said Sunday.
