Wreck back on even keel
On July 22 the wreck of the 'Torvang' was successfully righted at the quay in Hendvågen by the sheerleg 'Hebolift 9'. On July 23 the ship was back on even keel, still low in the water, so that pumping out could commence to make the ship lighter. On July 24 the ship was much out of the water, and on July 28 it was floating unassisted again, surrounded by an oil boom, with the sheerlwg having completed its work.

Salvage of wreck underway
The raising of the 'Torvang' at the quay in Averøy by the 'Hebolift 9'' was underway as of July 17, after the wreck had blocked the quay space of the company Henda Pukkfor for almost two months, This has resulted in extra transport costs amounting to 700,000 Norwegian crownsn, because the company could no longer use the own loading quay. The work of raising the ship has proven to be very demanding.
