A company has been hired to salvage the ship. The CEO stated yesterday that it could take days to weeks to free it. The bulb it buried very deep and the back of the ship is also grounded.

They plan to offload some of it but it is the largest container ship in the world carrying 20,000 containers. Its even larger than aircraft carriers.

The containers have to be individually helicoptered off the ship.
