Cape Town - The Japanese fishing vessel the Eihatsu Maru has successfully been pulled from Clifton First Beach on Friday, and is being towed to Cape Town Harbour.
Salvagers managed to refloat the vessel after a number of unsuccessful attempts since it ran aground early on Saturday morning.
The salvage team had welded a bracket into the longliner which could withstand the required pull force, after a tow line had previously snapped.
The fishing vessel was tracked along the South African coast prior to the incident and some are questioning whether the incident could have been a deliberate act.
