Today (3 September), the salvage team commenced with the fifth cut of the TRICOLOR at 12.00. Once this cut has been completed, preparations will be made to lift the severed sections from the seabed and place them on the ‘SMITbarge 2’ for transport to the scrap site in Zeebrugge (Belgium).

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.
