    The achievements of the men of this firm fill me with the utmost admiration!They perform acts which I,in a sea-going career on tramps taking me all over the world and encountering many and varied situations,would never have thought possible.I also worked in deep-sea salvage tugs for a while but nothing I experienced can compare with what these blokes can do.Respect,respect to Mammoet!

      +magnetstoo -- In August 1984, the French freighter Mont Louis, carrying 30 containers of uranium hexafluoride, was headed for Riga, Latvia, where the uranium would be off-loaded for enrichment in the USSR. However, off the Belgian coast, the freighter collided with a ferry carrying 1,000 passengers from the Netherlands to England. No one was hurt, but the freighter sank in shallow waters. The uranium cargo was salvaged by Smit International of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and Union de Remorquage et de Sauvetage of Antwerp, Belgium. There's a video about that salvage on RUclips.

    The men in charge of these salvage operations must be under enormous pressure......but you can be rest assured that they know their shit. They're serious as hell about their work, and scrutinize every single detail time and time again before even the first man or piece of equipment arrives on site. Scores of safety assessments have to be made before the job is bid on.....nobody wants to get a bunch of men killed because the wrong plan was taken to complete the salvage. But when the job is safely finished, everyone makes a load of money, as they rightfully should.

    • @befrank4099
      @befrank4099 5 лет назад +1

      anyone that has been in the industry long enough will quickly correct you that the main plan is not the salvage of the vessel or goods but rather dragging the process out in order to maximize the $$$$$ incured........... if that entails the actuall salvage being successful - that be a byproduct of the actual goal .

    Why would any one allow a wreck like this to come near their shores in the first place? I thought the Coast guard had licencing on container ships. It was clear that wreck should have been in the breakers long before it ended up beached like that. They should have never allowed that wreck on open waters. Now it will cost tax payers hundreds of thousands to get that wreck hauled away. I think world wide regulations should be stronger concerning ships registration and her owners as well as past owners made to clean up the mess. Like a car, they should be inspected and tagged every year.

    And the water fills with foam, the sky with fumes,
    leprosy chemistry destroys life in rivers,
    birds that hardly fly dead,
    the cold interest in life has barred the doors.
    A whole island has found a grave in the sea,
    false progress wanted to try a bomb,
    then rain, which takes away the thirst for the earth, which is life,
    instead it brings death because it is radioactive.
    Yet the wind is still blowing,
    sprinkle water to ships on the bow
    and whispers songs among the leaves,
    kisses the flowers, kisses them and does not catch them.
    One day money discovered the world war,
    gave his putrid sign to the bestial instinct,
    he killed, burned, destroyed in a sad rosary
    and the whole earth was wrapped in a black shroud.
    And soon the hidden key to new secrets:
    so they will cover even the planets with mud,
    they will want to pollute the stars, the war between the suns:
    crimes against life call them errors.
    Yet the wind is still blowing,
    sprinkle water to ships on the bow
    and whispers songs among the leaves,
    kisses the flowers, kisses them and does not catch them. ( Writer(s): pierangelo bertoli)
