Scheldt-Rhine Canal fully clear again Wednesday night

Three floating derricks lifted the vessel back up using chains. During the salvage operation, the waterway was completely blocked for several hours. The locaction where the ship is located was fenced off with oil screens to prevent oil from entering the environment. The vessel will now be disposed of. Over the past few days, the cargo of 1,000 tonnes of salt had already been removed from the ship and the salvage operation was being prepared.
