  • On November 6 2002, the 180 meter long floating drydock FDN1 sank off Port Blair in the Andaman Islands on 24 meters, leaving only the dock crane tops visible. SVITZER Salvage was instructed to re-float the drydock. A SVITZER Salvage Team from Singapore and The Netherlands, aided by special Salvage vessel PERDANA SAKTI, prepared the drydock. A smooth and controlled three-day operation saw it safely back afloat. She was returned to her owners, The Indian Navy, on 15 February 2003.

    That thing is huge. I'm sure the locals were happy about the clean up, as it doubtless meant many jobs were created.

    LOL, yeah, like Betamax? :-))) There are millions of other old videos here and none of them have this problem. They corrupted the video somehow when converting to digital. Which is a real shame because I'd love to watch it.

      Cheaper to refit than to build new... until the hull rusts out.
