Bulkcarrier refloated two weeks after grounding

The "Maryland" was refloated in the morning of March 27 in the Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal. The salvage assisted by the Russian tug "Spasatel Demirov" (IMO: 9681443), the "Gandvik" (IMO: 8881618) and the "Nikolay Dmitriev" (IMO: 8331625) and the "Mitridad" after a partial offloading of the cargo of 20.000 tons steel. A floating crane lightered 3,000 tons of the cargo after numerous attemps to pull the ship off had failed before. After the successful salvage, the ship was taken to the Kerch Outer Anchorage and moored at 7.40 p.m. in order to be surveyed before deciding if she may resume the voyage, or has to be repaired, with all cargo getting offloaded. The vessel had run aground off Chushka on March 13 at 4.30 p.m. en route from Mariupol to Maghera. https://ru.krymr.com/a/news-sudno-maryland-selo-na-mel-kerch-buksir-gandvik/29825210.html https://kerch.fm/2019/03/15/chetyre-buksira-ne-smogli-snjat-s-meli-suhogruz-s-metallom-v-kerchenskom-prolive.html https://iz.ru/856525/2019-03-15/vyshedshii-iz-mariupolia-sukhogruz-sel-na-mel-v-kerchenskom-prolive https://ria.ru/20190314/1551806440.html https://vesti-k.ru/suxogruz-maryland-nachali-staskivat-s-meli1/
