Wreck of yacht resurfaced

On June 20 the 'Bayesian' resurfaced for the first time ten months after sinking off Sicily. The salvage operation to recover the vessel has been ongoing for the last two months. The vessel has been slowly raised from the seabed, 50 meters down, over the past three days to allow the steel lifting straps, slings and harnesses to be secured under the keel. What became visible for the first time on the surface of the water was the top of the passenger area.

Superyacht to be raised next weekend

The salvors from Smit Salvage and Hebo have made good progress in recovering the 'Bayesian' While the plan was to lift the hull at the end of June, this will happen on une 21, if the weather is suitable. Last week, the stern of the yacht was lifted by th crane 'Hebolift 10' so far that the eight slings could be passed under the ship in the right place. On June 17, the ship's 72-meter mast was cut loose with a remote-controlled diamond saw wire. The mast was placed on the seabed and will be raised later. The hull then straightened up quite a bit. In the coming days the ship will be completely righted before being raised. On June 22 the 'Hebolift 10' will sail with the yacht in the slings to the port of Termini Imerese, where it will be deposited on the shore, if everything goes according to plan.

Amended salvage plan approved

The authorities in Sicily have approved an amended salvage plan by the salvors of Hebo and Smit Salvage and coordinator TMC Marine to raise the 'Bayesian'. This plan involves the 'Hebo Lift 10', one of the largest sheerlegs in Europe, which will be lifting the stern of the yacht, so that the salvors can pass the slings under the hull. The clayey bottom requires this approach. Previous attempts were made to pull the cables under the hull while it was lying on the seabed. A total of eight slings are needed to lift the wreck, which is scheduled for the end of June. Over the past week, salvage teams have been searching the seabed around the 'Bayesian' for materials from the yacht, using remotely controlled underwater equipment. 17 objects were found, including deck furniture and the shell of a life raft.
