Cracks in the hull were found to be over 3m wide and as such it has been determined the vessel is incapable of being towed.How will they get rid of it? Can you cut up a ship of this size in the same way the Tricolor was disposed of? Presumably a big pay day for the salvors.

If scuttling was the option would you not just tow her out without the risking the additional hull stress created by beaching and refloating causing further structural weakening?
