At 08.35 Thursday the salvage team commenced with the cutting of the second section of the TRICOLOR. This is the second of a total of nine sections, which will be individually cut, lifted and then transported to the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium. Upon arriving in Zeebrugge, the sections will be disposed at a specially prepared site. At this site any materials that may have a detrimental environmental impact will be removed. Thereafter, the cargo will be dismantled and destroyed.

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.
