The Gulizar Ana was leaning at an angle of about 60^o, and was prevented from listing further by a floating crane moored between the vessel and the quay. Following complex diving inspections and preparations by the Multraship team, the lifting operation got under way on September 20.The vessel’s engine room and accommodation were pumped out into a sludge barge, and the list was brought back to about 28^o. Removing one of the vessel’s two forklifts further corrected the list to roughly 12^o, at which point the Romanian authorities carried out an inspection and authorised the Multraship team to remove the remaining forklift and one steel coil, which task was completed on the morning of September 21. The vessel was then ballasted and returned to an even keel, ready for redelivery to its owners. MJ Information No: 22325
