Discharge operations commenced
Inspections of the 'Clipper Como' were carried out by an attending surveyor panel together with Coastal Safety diver teams. Temporary repairs were performed by the salvage teams together with the divers who patched up the side shell plating area in order to minimise the water ingress in ballast tanks and cargo compartments. Upon completion of the temporary repairs, the port of discharge schedule changed to Nemrut Bay instead of Samsun due to safety reasons of vessel and marine traffic. The 'Clipper Como' heaved up anchor and was towed from Bozcaada Island anchorage to Nemrut Bay on Sep 25, where she berthed on Sep 26. After completion of custom formalities, the cargo handling and discharge operation commenced.
