Due to unfavourable weather conditions the salvage operation of the TRICOLOR had to be postponed for a few days. Now that the weather in the English Channel is improving, the salvage team is gearing up to resume activities.

Tomorrow, floating cranes ‘Rambiz’ will sail for the salvage site and shall commence cleaning up the remainders of the third, fourth and fifth sections which were left behind after the respective lifting operations. In the meantime, cutting operations will continue.

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.
