The Arribel vessel removed a variety of materials from the quays of the Israel Shipyard Company for many years. One day, as it waited in the port, a partition wall near its containers collapsed, causing the vessel to capsize and sink near the quay. As a result, this important quay was blocked for several months. SeaTech was in charge of salvaging the vessel.
The extremely harsh visual conditions in Haifa Port are the worst in Israel—visibility is <10 cm.
The area is near the Kishon River estuary and is extremely polluted.
The project was under-budgeted, and other leading providers were not interested in taking it on.
We worked with highly experienced ship salvage operation divers who had the skills to work in harsh conditions.
To overcome the budgetary constraints, we made an agreement with the client through which we would receive the material salvaged from the ship, which we sold to cover costs.
