THE 'UNO' SALVAGE

Summer 2002, the Coaster UNO, laden with 2,400 tons of scrap, suffered engine failure in Germany's Kiel Canal. Colliding with a push barge and holed badly below the waterline, she capsized almost immediately partly blocking this critical waterway. Recovery team of SVITZER Salvage and Bugsier Hamburg were ordered by local authorities to urgently remove the vessel. The two-phase salvage plan involved cargo removal followed by vessel righting and re-float. Divers assisted in the process of patching the hole and having massive lifting slings inserted under the hull for the cranes. The need for speed was emphasized by the threatened congestion. The first attempt was succesful, the UNO being delivered to authorities for inspection with no unnecessary delay and without hindering canal traffic.

Thanks, great respect for miners of oil and minerals, all kinds of cargoes to us all. Log ships, ore, and grain go with fish. No, silly, not usually on the same ship, except in the galley. 💛❤🎶💛❤

    It's amazing what can be done with a ship like this that has rolled over or even sunk. I watched another video about navy salvage divers and how they were able to refloat sunken battleships that were sunk at Pearl Harbor. Of course there was some repair work just good enough to get them to dry docks for formal repairs. Only USS Arizona was left. Couldn't raise her. It's amazing.

    So, was 'UNO' repaired or was she broken up and scrapped? At a minimum all machinery and electrical systems and electronics would have to be replaced, along with permanent hull repairs and any necessary structural repairs. Basically, a full re-fit/re-build of the hull, structure, and all systems would be required. There is always a point where repairs are not a viable option. It could cost as much or more, to repair and bring up to modern/current standards/codes as needed, than to replace the entire vessel.

    Yes, it can be. The answer isn't always black or white. It was under water for five days. Much is destroyed, but a lot of that ship can be salvaged and repaired. The longer it is sunk, the closer it gets to being salvage only. Engine and checking electronics are probably the expensive parts.

It was not mentioned if anyone searched for him, just that he was missing, and authorities wanted to bring those salvagers. What if he had air for a few hours in there.
