Good thing is the vessel has eight ballast tanks which can support 800 tons buoyancy if sealed . Wherefore to move and clear the steel bar from the vessel would be a great help . Finally it took ten days for the 30 divers to move the steel ropes completely . Then the last thing is to wait for the rubber bladder who can provide this 800 tons buoyancy .<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/dd74a659ea29725b7792f4cbd6ca4439.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1382\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/dd74a659ea29725b7792f4cbd6ca4439.jpeg\" alt=\"ship launching rubber bladder\" width=\"231\" height=\"238\" title=\"\"><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/524bfffb14d78efaf00c54a770e98998.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1383\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/524bfffb14d78efaf00c54a770e98998.jpeg\" alt=\"ship rubber bladder\" width=\"231\" height=\"238\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Asked by the salvage company , our engineering team rushed to the site to supply the technical service , meanwhile 20 pieces rubber bladders were transported . 16 pieces were inserted into the vessels\u2019 holds and 4 pieces were attached to hull after the safety \u00a0check of upper board performed .<\/p>\n<p>During the whole salvage period of time , some steel ropes from a 300 tons crane barge were bounded the vessel to prevent it from possible capsizal during vessel refloatation .
