Very nice video. I was impressed. A lot of teamwork. Question: did you get the blocks out of the ship or only off the deck? Not to belittle that task though just a question? Cutting the deck off to get inside to remove the aluminum would be a great engineering feat. Great job. The Turva tied alongside the barge was interesting to see.
Google search says average US value for aluminium in 2014 was about $1 726 per metric ton, so times 5000 tons it's $8.6M. Not really sure if they ended up making much money considering the amount of labor and materials needed to recover the cargo and then mill off the corroded surface of each aluminum bar, or if they just sold it for scrap.
Thanks for sharing!! I love this engineering type stuff and there is not enough of it on here.
Mamoet and smit always have such fascinating recovery videos. I am waiting to see the refloating of the ship in the suez canal video
Excellent video, but no audio for most of it. Very innovative way to recover a cargo!
Watching Mammoet's version, with sound instead of this ripped off video with porn music, is much more watchable.
Nuts Mc Flurry will look for a link
REALLY annoying music. Good video.
Great video. Did a great job...
When making a video like this, slow down the subtitles, and comments. So people that are watching the video can read them before they disappear.
Great approach and execution! Too rich a cargo to be left on the bottom of the sea. 😁
Thanks for the video.
If i wanted to listen to head throbbing music I'd turn on the radio!!!

would of been interesting to know the value of the cargo. The recovery operation wouldn't of been cheap.
aluminum wholesale is about $2,200/ton * 5000 tons = around $11million
I believe if it falls under maritime salvage laws, Mammoet is entitled to the value of the cargo.

VERY VERY ANNOYING MUSIC!
But a great video. No sound at all in second half.
Thank you
The music wtf were you thinking about????
nice video and if one does not like the music, just turn your audio off :)
I once had to salvage 5,000 tons of Styrofoam. It was almost like this.
los mejores del mundo en operaciones en carga y reparaciones
Music was total overkill - good for adult vids but not this one.
I wonder how much the aluminium is worth in total..
Do away with the annoying music please. Mammoet doesn’t deserve such filth being played over their expertise.
that "filth" sold millions of copies. Depeche Mode was never my cup of tea, but this is well constructed music.
What happened to the audio?
No way, I loved that music. Kinda heavy metal with an industrial edge. Good. Hear that guitar and solid drum support. Too bad no vocals.
Hocus-pocus by Focus.
a good narration instead of that stupid music and this would of been a great video.
What's the name of the song?
"Nails on a chalkboard" by Plug Yer Ears
Where is a music?
Music is unbearable.
Someone's not a good audio mixer.
crap 'music'
The music is crap! Thumbs down after one minute.
thank god we have mute button
Why are you playing that ridiculous music?
