Latest Developments in the "Bayesian" Salvage Operation
Diver perishes on Bayesian shipwreck site
The much-anticipated recovery of the superyacht "Bayesian" off the coast of Sicily is underway, but it's not without its share of drama. Here's the lowdown on the current situation:
- Salvage Operations: A team of around 70 marine experts, hailing from various European countries, are on the scene. This crew includes underwater operators, remote-controlled robots (ROVs), and specialized equipment such as the multi-purpose floating work barge "Hebo Lift 2" and the powerful maritime crane "Hebo Lift 10". The latter will play a crucial role in lifting the yacht to the surface [1][3].
- Preparatory Measures: Before the vessel can be lifted, certain preparations must be made. For instance, the yacht's 72-meter mast will be severed, and approximately 18,000 liters of fuel will be drained to minimize any potential environmental harm. Once ready, steel cables will be attached to the ship to create a lifting harness [3].
- Safety constraints: The Italian Coast Guard is overseeing the operation to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
Regarding the mysterious death of a diver reported by Italian news agency ANSA, no official confirmation or details have been released yet.
- On-going Investigations: The Italian authorities are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the shipwreck last summer. Potential charges are being considered against the captain and two crew members [1].
- Purpose of recovery: The main objective of the salvage operation is to support the ongoing investigations by providing more evidence and shedding light on what led to the tragic events that claimed the lives of seven individuals, including British tech mogul Mike Lynch and his daughter [1][3].
