Descrizione
Deep sea recovery of a vessel refers to the process of retrieving a sunken or submerged ship or any other maritime object from the depths of the ocean. This operation...
mostra di più- Assessment and Planning:
- Preliminary assessment: Experts analyze the location, condition, and depth of the sunken vessel to determine feasibility and potential risks.
- Planning: A detailed recovery plan is developed, considering factors such as the vessel's size, weight, depth, accessibility, environmental conditions, and salvage techniques to be employed.
- Surveying and Documentation:
- Underwater survey: Divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are deployed to conduct a thorough survey of the wreckage, documenting its position, condition, and any potential hazards.
- Data collection: High-resolution images, video footage, and sonar scans are obtained to aid in the recovery operation.
- Preparing the Recovery Site:
- Clearing obstacles: If necessary, debris or other obstacles around the wreckage are removed to facilitate safe access and maneuverability.
- Securing the area: Safety measures such as deploying buoys, markers, and underwater cables are implemented to define the recovery zone and prevent unauthorized entry.
- Salvage Equipment and Techniques:
- Heavy lifting equipment: Specialized cranes, winches, and hoists capable of lifting substantial weights are utilized for the recovery.
- Rigging and lifting: Steel cables, slings, and chains are attached to the vessel using strategically placed attachment points, ensuring even weight distribution for safe lifting.
- Diving and ROV Operations:
- Divers: Skilled divers may be employed to perform various tasks, including attaching rigging, inspecting the vessel, or conducting repairs if feasible underwater.
- ROVs: Remotely operated vehicles equipped with cameras, manipulator arms, cutting tools, and other specialized equipment are used for detailed inspections, rigging, or minor adjustments.
- Lifting and Recovery:
- Lifting process: Once the rigging is securely attached, the lifting equipment starts raising the vessel slowly and steadily, taking precautions to maintain stability and avoid further damage.
- Monitoring: Throughout the lifting process, constant monitoring of tension, balance, and integrity of the rigging is conducted to ensure a controlled and safe recovery.
- Transport and Surface Operations:
- Surface support vessels: Suitable vessels are positioned nearby to receive the recovered vessel and provide additional assistance if needed.
- Transfer and stabilization: The raised vessel is carefully moved to a transport platform or secured to prevent further damage during transportation to a designated location.
- Post-Recovery:
- Preservation and analysis: The recovered vessel is secured to prevent deterioration and undergoes detailed examination by experts to assess its historical significance, condition, and potential restoration options.
- Documentation and reporting: Findings, observations, and artifacts from the recovery are recorded and documented for historical and research purposes.
With the Oxygen reserve running out and the chances of recovering the titanic 5 becoming slimmer with each passing moment, what will happen next if and when the search team declares that the rescue operation has now become a salvage operation? In this episode, we take a look at what that process might look like.
