raising sunken vessels

Raising a sunken vessel involves refloating and recovering a ship that has sunk in water. This process includes assessing the ship’s condition, removing any sediments or debris, and carefully patching or stabilizing structural damage. Divers or remotely operated equipment might be used to attach lifting gear. Heavy cranes or specialized salvage vessels then apply controlled lifting to bring the ship back to the surface. Once afloat, the vessel can be towed for repairs or scrapping. The goal is to safely and efficiently recover the ship while minimizing environmental impact and preserving the vessel’s integrity.
