Prior to parbuckling, the vessel was residing a 54-degree checklist with water access.
MARCH 22, 2016– Ardent salvage staffs have actually effectively made use of a parbuckling technique to right and also refloat the freight vessel, M/V Stern ö.
The 1,350 dwt vessel, possessed by Sweden’s Fiducia Rederi Abdominal Muscle, ran swamped on the evening of Friday, February 24, in Sweden’s Gota River near the secure Lila Edet.
The vessel was packed with 1,400 lots of grain when it endured an accident and also came to relax on a jetty framework with a 54-degree checklist.
Ardent staffs were set in motion in late February, finished the procedure, and also supplied the vessel previously today.
“We mobilized salvage craft and equipment, connected three strand jacks to bollards on the opposite side of the river to parbuckle the vessel,” stated Johan Foks,Ardent Salvage Master “There were a lot of elements that we had to battle. The icy weather and the traffic on an active ship channel were big considerations.” s.
“The parbuckle operation corrected the list to 11 degrees, and then we lightered the cargo for the refloating operation,” stated Rob Rutten Ardent’s Naval Architect for the M/V Stern ö. “Once we pumped the water out of the engine room and holds, the vessel refloated and was stabilized at a four degree list. We maneuvered the vessel through the locks and moored it quay-side for remaining cargo discharge. The vessel was at a two degree list once we were finished.”
The vessel was after that hauled by the yanks Svitzer Bob and also Svitzer Bonden from Lila Edet to Gothenberg.
On March 9, Ardent refloated the M/V Skagern (see earlier story) with a different group, 7.5 kilometres upstream from the M/V Stern ö on the river Göta älv.
