South Korea's maritime ministry said the operation team has completed the preparations to relocate the 6,800-ton vessel to a port in Mokpo, about 90 kilometers away. The crew is currently speeding up steps to drain water and oil from the ferry.
The passenger ferry sank on April 16, 2014, killing more than 300 people, mostly high school students on a school trip, in the nation's worst maritime disaster. Nine bodies are still missing.
Korean commentator Jung Sik Seo looks into it.
