Has Exol Pride managed to unload its 8 month old cargo of oil yet?

There is a photo doing the rounds on Facebook of the two passing below Lemonroyd lock. A reason to be on Facebook if nothing else is😂

Can you share please?

On https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:193705/mmsi:235065013/imo:7803437/vessel:EXOL_PRIDE the last plot shows up for the day of the breach, with her position in the Ouse. She could be in the canal at the moment, anywhere between Goole and Rotherham but clearly she hasn't been any further afield since 20/12/20.

She's been sitting low in the water on the mooring obviously loaded with oil since the breach. I wonder if there's a use by date for the cargo. I saw a video on FB today of her moving somewhere on the S&SY and she was much higher in the water.

If it's oil it's a few million years old.  I doubt a few months would make that much difference, with the exception of light refinery products - petrol for example.
