The bow of the TRICOLOR and the adjacent section (sections 3 and 4) arrived in Zeebrugge (Belgium) this morning. Yesterday, the fourth section was positioned next to the bow on top of the ‘SMITbarge 2’ by floating cranes ‘Rambiz’. Shortly after this section was seafastened to the barge, transport to the port of Zeebrugge commenced. In the meantime, the salvage team continues to work on the sixth cut of the TRICOLOR.

 

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.
