I haven't got precise co-ords of the exact location, but looking at the boustrophedontical search pattern being sailed by the seabed search vessel Vigilant, it looks like it's about 040° 17nm from Peterhead.

The water depth there is approx 300' below Chart Datum, ie 300' plus the tidal height. This is well within the normal working parameters for work-class ROVs and is shallow enough for very high accuracy mapping of the debris field.
