Wreck removal crews have begun the slow process of pulling the grounded containership MSC Baltic III toward shore in Newfoundland and Labrador, marking a major new phase in a salvage operation that aims to safely recover the vessel.
The MSC Baltic III ran aground in October 2022, and since then, salvage teams have been working to stabilize the ship and prepare it for removal. The operation is complex and requires careful planning to ensure the safety of both the crew and the environment. The success of this phase will be crucial in determining the overall outcome of the salvage operation.
