REPUBBLICA DI GENOVA SALVAGE OPERATION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- On 2 May, 2007, SVITZER Salvage was awarded a contract by Grimaldi to refloat and deliver their roro carrier, 'Repubblica di Genova' which capsized during loading operations on 8 March, 2007.
A SVITZER Salvage team started the parbuckling of 'Repubblica di Genova' in the Verrebroek dock at Antwerp. Preparation for this major operation included placing fifteen (15) cantilevers on the side of the vessel. Each cantilever was equipped with a computerised pulling device with traction of 500 mt. each, thus the total pulling power was 7500 mt.
SVITZER Salvage took all possible measuresto minimise environmental pollution. Preparations included use of oil skimmers and several oil booms around the vessel. Additionally an oil spill response vessel was permanently on site.
This is foremost the most complete and detailed report on the salvage of the Repubblica Di Genova.
Our company Everwin Impex was there also from start to finish. In first instance we were bidding for buying the entire vessel but Grimaldi decided later on to split the bidding, because they wanted to reuse the vessel. We were successful on the RORO bidding and Everwin was awarded the RORO contract.
We shredded hundreds of containers, trucks, busses and cars. It was a gigantic salvage operation.
I'm always totally amazed at the technology, equipment, and teamwork involved in these kinds of salvage operations. Incredible work by highly talented teams of people.
Simply fantastic! Ingeniuos and extremely well done by Svitzer teamwork. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Happy congradulation salvage of republic of geniva to swizer salvage team thank u iam alex india goa
always a joy to see people who know their job
Amazing and what losses !!! Was the accident due to improper loading procedures ?
Very good programme & thanks for sharing 👍
Adds new meaning to RO-RO: Roll on - Roll over!
Wow what a great story and wish I could have been there to have been of help to these bright salvors of the seas. Thank you for sharing this story.
It's proprietary information so we'll never know, but I am very curious about the cost of the job, especially the huge hardware and various pieces of equipment.. The enormous fiber pulling rope must have cost a small fortune.
Awesome work guys! Congratulations on a job well done 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Un gran Trabajo con mucha sabiduría desde (Gran Canaria España) les felicito
Is it safe to assume that there is a need for competent cargo officers or load masters?
Is it too much to assume that ship designers could possibly design container ships that cannot flip over at a moments instability?? I agree , a lot of these ships turn turtle from incorrect loading/ unloading, but pure greed for profit, in the current designs, are making these ships top heavy and of course liable to flip over at the slightest opportunity!
amazing work by everyone, very interesting
Is this ship still working or is it in pieces now?
Very interesting. Thanks
The ship was rebuild or was demolished?
IT didn't mention the cause of the capsize.Is that not an important factor in the pa-buckle ?
For a RORO vessel to roll on its side that is always a combination from mechanical failure in its ballast system and mistakes in the cargo loading plan. Yes you can avoid all, in general RORO vessels are safe and can have a list to 45 degree and will come back up again. problem is here if cargo was not yet secured and starts shifting it is a lost game, because more weight ends on the low side. p.s. even after this recovery the vessel sailed for only 3 years with 3 more names this until 2010 with last name "front" this indicate that even after this operation that the vessel was with to many problems and is later sold for scrap metal.
Smart people. Smart Company.
what caused the roll over?cargo shifting?
How much did it cost to perform this task ?
Was it ever determined what was the cause of the capsizing?
Wow, congratulations, job well done. I assume a change of spark plugs, engine oil and a good wash & polish and she was on the road ... oops, sorry, water again. ??
How much did it cost to salvage the ship? What was the total loss of the contents? Who were affected by the loss of the contents? What was the cost to rebuild the vessel?
They never say any videos like this and I'm always disappointed. I think it would be very interesting to know how much something like this costs. $10 million? $25? 50? I have no idea because they never give us any idea.
If the Titanic sunk last week. I think these guys could bring her back up. But these guys and their amazing skills weren't around then. Too bad.
If the company dates from 1833 - they were around when the Titanic went down - the still don't have the equipment to work that deep.
the cost of the operation was much more then the value of the vessel....what mishap / imbecility did cause the accident in the first place ? Who was kept responsible ?
jan doerlidoe Normaly there is allways an officer on the bridge to control the stability and pump water in and out ballasttanks.
He must be. gone fore coffe or so or in bed with a girl.
I hurts to se those vintage Volvo trucks go to scrap.
totaly awesome
Nice Job.
I fixed helicopters. 16 days coma, I can't read. Awesome.
But, how much ?
So, Captain, when did you discover that your master's license was in jeopardy?
I think suspected cause was actually misstated overweight containers. The load plan would be fantasy if the starting numbers were wrong.
So I have a question. Is all the junk you pull up yours or does your employer get ownership of it? I.E. You are contracted to raise and refloat the ship, but the stuff you pulled out of the water, like trucks, scrap, etc, is that considered a ‘bonus’?
Roll over: No ballast?

must have forgot???
+Toy Pupanbai -- The ship had been ballasted several hours before the ship capsized. There was some suspicion that the stated weights of the cargo containers were not accurate. Improper distribution of the cargo's weight might have caused the ship to capsize.
wow
+Kevin Byrne very good kevin you are right
@Charlie K -- The ship was loaded on the basis of the stated weights of the containers. If most of the very heavy containers were loaded on one side of the ship (because their weights had been stated falsely), then the ship could capsize.
Extensive calculations were required

Another long advert on youtube! I have to say, these "salvage" jobs, seema lot like grown men playing with "Meccano kits" ! I also wonder just how many honest decent people lost tons of money,, like the vehicle owners , I bet they were never fully compensated!
The Owners are mostly Businesses that Export the Vehicles. Cargo usually is insured but it is difficult getting Insurance when you are shipping with Grimaldi, given their Number of Accidents, especially on that relatively small Fleet.
why is it that everyone is jumping aboard the "MY PEOPLES" train??? Dont want to be hated or deal with racism? Dont be a shit head or criminal 😉
VIVA EL SALVAMENTO MARITIMO , SALUDOS DE JIMAGUA DE ANTILLANA DE SALVAMENTO .
