Furie 3 involved in salvage of river cruise ship casco
On Mar 22, 2014 the "Furie 3" was called to assist after a barge carrying the casco of the Danube-river cruise ship "Avalon Tapestry II" of Avalon Seaways partially sank in the Hollands Diep at the North Port of the Volkerak Lock at Willemstad enroute from the building yard to the New Schelde Yard in Hemiksem. Two decks of the 110-m-ship which was under construction at the Den Breewen Shipyard in Hardinxveld-Giessendam as No. 3539 were flooded. Salvors of BST Dintelsas from Dinteloord and HEBO Maritiem from Zwartsluis were called to refloat the ship. Ship traffic off the locks was affected by the hull which was partially lying in the waterway. The ship had been run aground to avoid its complete sinking. The fire rescue assisted the dewatering work with a boat, and in the evening the company Reinier van der Zee started lifting the hull. On scene were also the "Hebo Cat 12" (MMSI-No.: 244780726), the tug "Louise van der Wees" (IMO-No.: 8433459), and the "RWS 22". Rijkswaterstaat called a sheerleg of Mammoet from Rotterdam which raised the "Avalon Tapestry II" 30 hours after its sinking. The ship is due to be delivered in 2015.
