The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) confirmed that one of the vessel's five tanks has been damaged. A spokesperson said approximately 10 tonnes of fuel had been lost from the trawler since it ran aground.
The five crew members on board have now been taken ashore.
Buoyancy aids, including airbags, are being used on the vessel.
The MCA said a further attempt to refloat the trawler was unlikely to happen "until tomorrow at the earliest".
