Dutch owned SMIT Salvage used this technique long before the the Americans
I know that in the USA everything seems bigger and better, but now you are quite wrong. In a small country, the Netherlands, which has 17 million inhabitants, the famous Smit salvage has been established for decades and has a leading role and has established a huge name worldwide.

No cure, no pay is a London Loyds open form contract. And in salvage procedures the Dutch are the leaders by far.
The Dutch are excellent at this sort of operation.
We used to have a pretty famous salvage boat in my area called the Salvage Chief. A week ago i was talking with a buddy who is an ABS inspector. He was telling me how sad everybody was when he had to fail its final hull inspection.
"Kia and Hyundai vehicles" No great loss.
So much good stuff. Happy for the 4 engineers saved! People working together...sometimes. also always happy to see Reef from disgarded Material.

When I was a kid we lived on the Intercoastal waterway in Chesapeake VA. My friends and I went fishing and crabbing where several ships were cut up and sitting on the shore. I never knew that they used a cutting chain to get them out of the water though.

Having engineered ocean tugs on gulf, east coast and north, Central America, I never ceased to be amazed at the stupid things people manage to do with vessels. Picked up a drunk in a zodiac after separating from a sailboat off Yucatán. Didn’t even know he was alone. Never found the sailboat so we just took him along. Good cook though. Bizarre stuff every day.

As long as ships have existed, recovery efforts have been made. Ships have been around much longer than 1,500s . Also, why is it called cargo on a ship, and shipment in cars?

would be possible to depollute the red sea because there ae the bottom in These waters warships with tons of materials from the time of the first war ...and it would be realy good to rénover retrieve These objets for the museum in England ...some wwi era shipwrecks are filled with motocycles and ..war vehicles and period ammunition and weapons. // Recovering on the French Coast the 1300 wrecks dating from the second war would also be good with the help of the French and English and American Companies

“The ship flooded just after it sank, then it caught fire”. See, this kind of mixup is why order of operations is important.

By all accounts that I've seen they seem to be pretty big successes in terms of increasing biodiversity. In areas that are lacking hard substrates, the wrecks offer places for corals to settle that are otherwise lacking. Once the corals and other sessile invertebrates get established it doesn't take long for fish and other animals to move in. As an added benefit they are often located in no fishing zones and help stop nets from being hauled through the area by destroying them should they be hauled over the wreck.

Sawing through a ship with a chain or cable is not new! Smit Salvage in the Netherlands already did this 45 years ago! They also used this technique trpuwens when raising the Kursk!!! So nothing new!
What was so amazing? There was a very brief mention of a special saw chain, but that was it. Hardly a video to learn anything from.

Incredible operation, amazing engineering. I wonder if the two year salvage operation paid a profit that's really expensive equipment per hour not to mention paying salaries for expertise, permits. Etc.. Envious of people who are visionaries and can sell an operation like this to investors. Otherwise this would have been navigation danger for at least a 100 years.
You could create a mission to get stuff sunken underwater, like sunken ships or subs or cars, so that fish and marine life are free to thrive.
Good job 👍
