CARGO

摘要

Dutch salvage teams have completed the salvage operation to remove the wreck of the car carrier Baltic Ace (2007) from the North Sea. On 5 December 2012 Baltic Ace departed Zeebrugge on a regular voyage, but in stormy conditions she collided with the container feeder vessel Corvus J about 30 miles off the Dutch coast. Baltic Ace began taking on water and capsized and sank in 115ft water within 15 minutes. She lost 11 of her 24 crew, as well as 1,400 assorted Mitsubishi vehicles bound for Russia and 540,000 litres of fuel. For the next two years she lay on her side, impeding traffic using the Port of Rotterdam. RC.
