The massive Bulk carrier “Wakashio” which had run aground on a reef off Mauritius on Saturday, the 25th of July 2020 is to be salvaged by Smit Salvage.
The 203,000 dwt ship is managed by Japanese company Nagashiki Shipping.
Smit Salvage which was awarded the contract to refloat wakashio that had run aground off Mauritius over the weekend begins preparations.
Smit Salvage is run by Smit International, a Dutch company.
CELERO group will also join the salvage operation and assist in the pumping out of fuel from the ship.
According to the Ministry of Environment, there has been no oil spill from the vessel in the area.
The Capesize bulker Wakashio is believed to be carrying 3,894 tonnes of low-sulphur fuel oil.
As well as 207 tonnes of diesel and 90 tonnes of lube oil.
Although, the ship’s hull has not been damaged, the ship’s engine room was flooded due to the rupture of a water hose pipe.
Two tugs with oil response equipment have been dispatched to the scene, and an additional tug is on standby.
Report indicates that the crew had been tested for Covid-19, and that all of the seafarers tested negative.
The testing was required to be carried out before salvage personnel could board the ship to assess the situation.
