"We have a quite a large apartment, we can cook, we have a balcony, we have an outdoor area with a barbecue," he said.

"We are confined to within our walls of our outdoor area, and our balcony, but we have far more room, freedom, fresh air than the people in the hotels have." He also said a great deal had been done to prepare for their arrival, with pre-prepared meals and cleaning products left in what he described as spotless units.

"We've got access to Wi-Fi, there's online shopping at the little shop here, so they will deliver to us, we're getting replenishment of our meals every day, so in terms of the organisation it's fantastic," he said.Mr McGowan said the ship's crew would remain on board the vessel, which was expected to leave Fremantle within days.
