In spite of stormy weather conditions over the weekend, the salvage team completed the fourth cut of the TRICOLOR.

Due to the weather conditions during the weekend, a number of support vessels had to take shelter in the port of Zeebrugge (Belgium). But since the weather has considerably improved by now, all vessels left port again and are en route to the TRICOLOR, where the salvage team is preparing for the next cut.


The jack-up rigs ‘Buzzard’ and ‘Vagant’ will be repositioned for the fifth cut today.

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.
