Lenac dock cut up

摘要

Dutch salvage specialists Multraship Salvage and Mammoet Salvage have completed the removal of the wreck of a floating dock which sank in June 2007 at the Viktor Lenac shipyard, Rijeka, Croatia.rnThe 165m Dock No. 7 weighed 7000tonnes and sank in 22m of water after an electrical power supply failure. Two previous refloating attempts had failed and after a thorough survey and testing of tanks it was decided that refloating of the dock was not feasible. As the sunken dock was impeding access to the yards other dock, the yard placed a wreck removal contract with Multraship and Mammoet. They worked together to cut the wreck into twenty-four main pieces, each weighing up to 440tonnes. Multraship's floating sheerlegs Cormorant was used to lift the sections out. In all, divers performed over 5km of underwater cutting.
