On May 24 at 1 p.m. the "Perkredes - RI 450" was raised by the Storm Marine from the bottom of the port of Hvide Sande; however, it was doubtful whether she would be going to sail again. The vessel wich usually weighs 32 tons had a weight of 100 tons when lifted by a mobile crane of the Hvide Sande Ship Yard due to the water on board. Jan Kristensen, who owned the ship for the last 37 years, witnessed the operation. The Danish Maritime Authority was on site to gather information for an accident investigation report which can take from five to eight months.
