Title: Rescuing the "Nordland III" in Greifswald-Wieck
With cranes, divers, and a large team of emergency responders, the salvage operation for the fishing cutter, "Nordland III," has kicked off in Greifswald-Wieck. The aim is to refloat the ship as much as possible, but if that's not feasible, they plan to lift it ashore using a crane, said Operations Manager Perry Schongalla from Moses Maritime Services. Six divers are diving under the ship's hull to attach lifting straps.
Unfortunately, the owner of the vessel hasn't taken any action yet, as announced by the city of Greifswald. Due to this, the city is handling the salvage operation in collaboration with the State Office for Agriculture and the Environment (StaLU) Vorpommern, aiming to minimize risks the ship poses to the Ryck federal waterway. Oil barriers are placed around the vessel, and the promenade in Wieck is closed. Traffic disruptions are expected on the north side behind the barrier.
In an emergency during the salvage process, the emergency workers will be prepared to intervene. Meanwhile, the shipping company is encouraged to expedite obtaining any necessary replacement parts. The ongoing emergency could potentially delay the complete refloating of the "Nordland III."
While conducting this operation, the focus is on eliminating any threats to the environment and ensuring the safety of the surrounding area. Remarkably, this isn't the first salvage operation in this area; several historical vessels can be found in the city's museum harbor, adding significant charm to the waterfront.
