Salvage work on the grounded minesweeper USS Guardian has reached the halfway mark, the Philippine Coast Guard said Thursday.
Coast Guard Palawan head and Task Force Tubbataha chief Commodore Enrico Evangelista said they continue to make good progress so far, radio dzBB's Carlo Mateo reported.
Evangelista cited reports from the crew aboard the JASCON 25 indicating the progress of the salvage work has reached 50 percent.
But he said they are now monitoring the weather as state weather forecasters indicated a chance of big waves in the area on Friday.
