Municipality of Fanø has now sent another urgent request to remove the wreck
The Municipality of Fanø has now sent another urgent request to remove the wreck of the "James Robert". The recipients were both the shipping company's curator after the bankruptcy of the Krabbefiskeri Aps and Njord Krabber Aps in Hvide Sande, and the insurance company. If this is not complied with before July 18, 2019, the Fanø Municipality will demand DKK 300,000 from the Ship Insurance Frederikshavn to cover the costs of getting the wreck removed, which has now almost completely been smashed and sends wreckage to the coast. The insurance company, which, however, does not believe the municipality has a legal law basis to require the crab boat to be removed, despite referring to the Coastal Protection Act, nor has the bankruptcy lawyer, Kristian Dalsgaard, been contacted yet.
