Bulkcarrier refloated by SFK-tug

On Oct 11 at 1 a.m. the three tugs "Kiel", "Taucher Otto Wulf 5" and "Svitzer Thor" succeeded in refloating the "Maestro Diamond". The salvage attempt started the previous evening around 9 p.m., and it took a few hours of pulling to get the ship off. It was directed to Kalundborg for thorough surveys of the hull by divers, ETA Oct 11, 1 p.m. The "Svitzer Thor" and "Marie Miljø" escorted the bulkcarrier on its way. It was believed to have suffered dents and bumps in the fuel tank area, but no breaches. As a precaution, the fuel had been pumped into more protected tank areas so there was no danger of an oil spill. The ship has left the anchorage off Kalundborg again after the surveys of the hull by divers were completed and resumed the voyage from Klaipeda to New Orleans, ETA Nov 3.
