Tweede deel Tricolor afgezaagd

Early this morning salvage crews have succeeded in lifting the second section of the TRICOLOR that weighs over 3,400 tonnes and positioned it on the semi-submersible barge ‘Giant 4’. The floating sheerlegs ‘Rambiz’ and ‘Asian Hercules II’ lifted and positioned the section together by a so called ‘tandem lift’. Due to the size and condition of the section it requires the ‘Asian HerculesII’ to remain connected during the entire voyage to the port of Zeebrugge (Belgium). The floating sheerlegs will prevent that the damaged part of the TRICOLOR may collapse.
