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 January 2022, and since then, salvage teams have been working to stabilize the ship and prepare it for removal. The operation is expected to be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring careful planning and execution to ensure the safety of both the crew and the surrounding environment.
