Aerial video of Solong cargo ship and damaged oil tanker Stena Immaculate two days after the collision
Aerial video on Wednesday showed a gaping hole in Stena Immaculate's hull, with fire damage along its length, while the Solong continued to burn and is badly charred.
Neither vessel is now expected to sink, transport minister Heidi Alexander said in a statement after an earlier assessment had said the Solong was unlikely to remain afloat.
One crew member from the Portuguese-flagged Solong is assumed dead, maritime minister Mike Kane told parliament. Thirty-six people were brought ashore following the incident and no others remain missing, the coastguard said.
