After the sinking of the "Reyes del Mar 2" that was moored in Concepción del Uruguay on May 10, the wreck must be removed by its owner and develop a salvage plan, which must be approved by the Préfecture. Once the required documentation is authorized, the port authority will accompany and monitor the work at the dock 7. Renato Alegua - who acquired the vessel on Nov 1, 2017 in a judicial auction - must take charge of the ship.

Complementary cleaning and environmental tasks were carried out in coordination with the Secretary of the Environment of Entre Ríos.
