The 150 tonne trawler was brought to Frederikshavn for demolition.

During a short period of relatively calm weather, J.A. Rederiet managed to position its floating crane Sanne A and support vessel MPP Susanne A in the shallow water location. A depth of a only 1.5m was available aft of the casualty. The trawler was lifted and pulled to deeper waters, and prepared for transport to Frederikshavn.

This salvage job is the latest of many similar salvage operations undertaken by J.A. Rederiet.
