Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Prerow: salvage of working ship still uncertain

Prerow (dpa / mv) - A 95 meter long working ship is still in front of the Baltic Sea resort of Prerow. The salvage of the barge will probably take some time, said a spokesman for the water police on Monday. The ship, loaded with an excavator, broke free in the storm on Saturday and drifted into shallow water, from where it could no longer get free on its own.

A barge is a non-powered cargo ship. According to the water police, the ship is used to transport natural stones from Scandinavia for the new seaport of Prerow. According to the water police, the salvage of the damaged ship should pose an immense challenge. When and how the ship should be salvaged was still open on Monday.
