This morning, the fourth section of the TRICOLOR has been successfully lifted and positioned on top of the ‘SMITbarge 2’. The section was placed next to the bow section of the TRICOLOR, which was put on the barge five days ago (September 10). The fourth section is currently being seafastened for transport to Zeebrugge, Belgium. In Zeebrugge the sections of the TRICOLOR will be scrapped.

While the jack-up rigs cut one section, floating cranes ‘Rambiz’ connects to the other to lift it out of the water.

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.
