Work ship recovered sunken fishing vessel

The 'TSM Dora' has recovered the French fishing boat 'Izel Vor - B192042' on April 2, 2020, which initally had sunk on nine mehters water depth south-east of the Grand Léjon lighthouse. The salvage was carried out by the Thomas Maritime Services (TSM). The boat had sunk in the bay of Saint-Brieuc on March 9. The two fishermen were recovered unharmed. The wooden hull, built in 1969, had a large hole. The operation was a bit complicated as the wreckage had moved since the sinking and was found in a depth of 20 meters. In the three days following the sinking, there were significant tidal coefficients with strong currents. The salvors found the boat with an 80-meter-long shell dredge deployed outside. The 'TSM Dora' was back at the port of Brest in the morning of April 3 and unloaded the trawler, which will be deconstructed by Guyot Environnement.
