It appears from the excellent Redwise site that Groupe Océan's newly acquired tug/barge combo Mega/Motti has sailed from Bermdua.
Thanks to Google translate, I hacve this rough translation from the Captain's log:

Go or notgo.....

Ifyou lieto wait for aperiod of"beautiful"again,playscontinuedthe question: dowe ordo wenot now.Tomakethat choice, youobviouslyneeda weather report,that theentireperiod of thesailingroutespans.

So it would seem that after several weeks of waiting for better weather, they are on their way!
