Salvors plan to install a rig on to the seabed next to the vessel to speed up the clearance process. |
Once past the disorientating 10m gap where the salvors have blasted this ship apart, the hull reformed and a smaller high-elevation gun could be seen. |
Earlier, Lieutenant Commander Armand Balilo was quoted in reports as saying the favourable weather had made it possible for salvors to complete the salvage operations on time. |
As the main deck broke the water's surface, salvors began pumping the barge to lessen the load on the hydraulic jacks. |
Yesterday, salvors were also hard at work on the cargo ship Sagitarius, which is grounded on the rocks off Leaches Bay. |
Salvors are offloading potentially hazardous cargo from the ship which ran aground near Grosvenor Point off the Wild Coast on Saturday night. |
