The International Salvage Union (ISU) has released its 2023 industry statistics, highlighting a revenue increase to $398 million, up from $241 million in 2022, with notable growth in wreck removal income.

The complex salvage operation of the MV SOUNION, a 900-foot tanker carrying approximately one million barrels of crude oil, has commenced.

According to Reuters, this week, experts will restart a high-risk salvage operation for the Sounion tanker, which was attacked multiple times by Yemen's Houthis last month in the Red Sea.

On 20th May, the Dali, the containership involved in the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse on March 26, arrived back at the port of Baltimore.

The refloat and transit of the M/V Dali from its current location in Baltimore to a local marine terminal is slated for the morning of May 20, if the right conditions are met.

According to Reuters, on May 13th, crews in Baltimore conducted controlled explosions to facilitate the removal of a section of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge from the bow of the large container ship that caused the span to topple in March.

The Key Bridge Response Unified Command is scheduled to use precision cuts made with small charges to remove a large section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge wreckage from on top of the M/V DALI.

With minimal additional environmental impact., the stranded ferry Marco Polo (15,955 gross tonnes) was successfully refloated. Today, the salvage operation is anticipated to be finished, but the oil cleaning is anticipated to take much longer.

Salvors successfully refloated the Bonnie G, a cargo vessel that ran aground in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, after 26 days.

United Stated Coast Guard (USCG) informs that salvage and post fire recovery operations continue on the Grande Costa D’Avorio as crews work to safely transfer vehicles and cargo from the vessel to the port facility.
