The 'NEPTUNE' (a notable salvage operation)

The 'NEPTUNE' operation refers to a significant maritime salvage effort to recover the wreckage of the MV 'Laconi', a container ship that sank off the coast of England in 1997. This operation involved complex underwater work to lift and remove the ship's debris and cargo, which posed environmental risks. Conducted by specialized salvage teams using advanced technologies, the operation aimed to ensure maritime safety and protect marine ecosystems. Salvage operations like NEPTUNE are crucial for addressing the aftermath of maritime accidents and minimizing potential hazards to navigation and the environment.
