Refloating 508-TEU container ship Amnah
#wreckremoval
MarineMasters cooperated on behalf of the client in successfully refloating a container vessel, MS Amnah. This 508-TEU container ship capsized on December 23, 2024, in Istanbul, Turkey, after losing stability during (un)loading operations.
A safe and
effective plan
Our Salvage Master and Naval Architect assisted Aras by preparing a detailed ship model to simulate the refloating process and developing a safe and effective plan. In addition we assisted with pressurizing a large number of tanks to create additional buoyancy.
Other key activities also included dewatering the cargo holds and engine room, as well as implementing oil spill response measures to prevent pollution and protect port facilities and the surrounding environment.
Marine Masters is very proud of the relationship we have with Aras Salvage with hopefully many more co-operations to come in and outside Turkey.
This incident highlights the importance of proper cargo loading and stability planning in preventing maritime accidents. We remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding both property and the environment.
