After yesterday’s successful lift, the first section of the TRICOLOR was transported to the port of Zeebrugge (Belgium) by the Giant 4. The semi-submersible barge and her remarkable load arrived early this morning.

In Zeebrugge the salvage team will remove the lifting frames attached to the section which will be utilised for the next section to be lifted and transported. At the moment, the platforms ‘Buzzard and ‘Vagant’ are being postitioned in preparation for the cutting of the second section.

The salvage of the TRICOLOR is being carried out by the ‘Combinatie Berging Tricolor’, a consortium consisting of: SMIT Salvage B.V., Scaldis Salvage & Marine Contractors N.V., URS Salvage & Maritime Contracting N.V., and Multraship Salvage B.V. The salvage contract was awarded to the consortium by Wilh. Wilhelmsen and Gard Services.
