Salvors attempt to refloat Safmarine ship
Salvors are removing bunker fuel and containers from the “Safmarine Agulhas,” a 1,700-TEU ship which ran aground outside the harbor of East London, South Africa, on June 26, in an attempt to refloat it.
The salvage firm Smit is using a crane from a breakwater to offload containers from the ship in an attempt to lighten it.
South Africa’s National Ports Authority has also removed about half of the bunker fuel from the ship to make it lighter.
