On May 6, the transfer operations from the 'Abeille Liberté' onto the 'Christos XXIV' continued throughout the day. Given the meteorological and oceanographic conditions expected the coming weekend, the Maritime Prefecture of the Channel and the North Sea has sent a new formal notice to the owners of the 'Christos XXIV' and the 'Varzuga' in order to put in implement all measures to secure the convoy and take it to safety. At 7:30 p.m., the 'Christos XXIV' tensioned its towing wire, so the 'Abeille Liberté' released its own to leave it free to maneuver. At 8:35 p.m., the convoy started its transit with the intention of reaching Le Havre, the port of shelter chosen by the towing company, escorted by the 'Abeille Liberté'. On May 7 the tugs 'Vb Longchamp', 'Vb Barfleur 18', 'Vb Octeville 11' and 'Vb Yport 12' joined the convoy on its final leg.
