can you post the link?Looks like a person will have to keep checking back to see when the actual lift takes place. Drone pictures should eliminate the 650 yd cordon around the site.
understood.Sadly, the salvage operation was halted by a local prosecutor in Termini Imerese on Friday after the tragic death of a diver working to remove a boom hinge on Bayesian’s mast in preparation for the lifting operation.
The incident was captured on CCTV by a support vessel and a full investigation into the accident is under way. It’s not clear when work will be allowed to resume.
understood.
Sorry to hear someone passed
Yes, it's terrible news. Unconfirmed reports are that the boom couldn't be freed with mechanical tools so he, plus colleagues, then tried cutting it free with some kind of blow torch. The boom may then have suddenly swung free with force.
When the operation ultimately resumes, the live feed will be here:
Do you think that boat can be salvaged and sail again? It surely would be incredibly expensive. Would you buy a car that’s been in a flood?
... The yacht was eventually salvaged and is undergoing forensic examination.
Key Facts:
- Salvage: The yacht was salvaged and is undergoing forensic examination.
Important part.The yacht has not yet been salvaged. Forensic examination so far has been confined to underwater video footage, the recovered bodies and pieces of equipment, including hard drives from computers on board which have footage from surveillance cameras.
I wonder they would of gone to such great lengths of a recovery if it was not for a super yacht for ultra wealthy and some famous wealthy influential people?. If it was Mrs and Mrs Joe crap on their vessel the Authorities would of not given a crap.

Good point! Ya just have to forgive my cynical outlook. There wealthy on board that have financial capacity to use the legal system to sue the ship builder for damages due to any faulty design or the company operating the charter boat with procedures that might of contributed to deaths of those on board. The insurers also have and interest in mitigating their costs in order blame the builder or the operators of the boat operators of charter boat. In short it will be in the court battle in which decides what percentage each insurers pay. With each insurer hoping to pay as little as possible.For sure, money is a driver but, since the authorities don't pay for the salvage (the owner has to pay, or the owner's insurers in this case), it makes no difference to the authorities either way. They just want to complete their investigation. Salvage and determination of cause and liability may be in the owner's insurers interests if they believe it could reduce any liability/compensation claim against them.
Remember this thread from last year? Maybe that’s the reason.I wonder they would of gone to such great lengths of a recovery if it was not for a super yacht for ultra wealthy and some famous wealthy influential people?. If it was Mrs and Mrs Joe crap on their vessel the Authorities would of not given a crap.
