[Watch] How They Removed 1,400 Cars and a Sunk Ship

4758

On 5th December 2012, the car carrier Baltic Ace sank with more than 1,400 cars on board after a collision with a container ship near the entrance of the main shipping lane leading to Rotterdam port.  Rijkswaterstaat contracted Boskalis and its partner Mammoet Salvage for the wreck removal operation.

The Baltic Ace was laid down in 2007 in Poland, only to meet sudden death five years later in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes off the Dutch coast south of Rotterdam.  Since it sank with 540,000 liters of oil onboard, despite being insured only for about $55 million, $73 million had to be spent on the salvage operation.
