« on: July 05, 2007, 08:49:52 AM »
Svitzer Salvage has been awarded the contract to right and refloat the "REPUBBLICA DI GENOVA". The 216 meter long vessel capsized in the port of Antwerp during loading operations on Thursday 8 March, having on board around 7,137 tons of cargo, consisting of containers, cars, trucks, heavy machinery and general cargo. Further 2,340 tons of fuel was reported still on board. During the last few weeks site preparations were made, oil assessment was concluded and divers have started to remove the ramp, all in preparation of the parbuckling operation. Coming weeks more equipment and craft will be mobilized in order to have the parbuckling operation completed in the coming 2 months.
