On December 9, 2005, the 15,000 ton container vessel CP Valour grounded in Baia da Praia do Norte on Faial Island in the Azores. In bad weather, the vessel's hull quickly began to fracture. Various attempts to re-float the CP Valour failed and three weeks later she was declared a constructive total loss, CTL.
SVITZER Salvage was awarded the contract for her removal. At SVITZER Salvage head office in IJmuiden, Holland, a very busy period started in preparing and executing this unique removal operation.
This film tells you the story of a race against time and elements.

Enjoyed my time as Engineer on one of the Tugs used in the Salvage . It was fascinating watching the fitters , welders and divers working in dreadful conditions and the shifts scuttling along the catwalk each day . Mindful of the fact that the beach was a no go no swim area , Svitzer built the locals a swim pool on the shoreline so they would not be inconvenienced . Watching this video was a joy for me and my family to watch . A couple of years later was unlucky to be highjacked off Somalia on a delivery voyage on a brand new TUG , Svitzer Korsakov . Sorry folks the Pirates wouldn't let us take pictures , just believe me it was a scary 47 Days , until we were released . Thanks to a great management team , Svitzer , again won the day . Best Wishes .

I single-handedly refloated my 5 tonne boat from well above the high tide line on a beach. I used a small bottle Jack, some scrap wood, a length of metal pipe and 5 x 6 ft x 3 inch PVC pipes. The kicker for me and the success of the operation was ‘how to go about it ‘ instructions from an 80 YO gentleman passerby that I met a few days before.

DEEREMEYER1, what is your major malfunction? Did your boyfriend come home unexpectedly and catch you puffing on another man's pickle? You don't even know R. Wood and yet you post a menopausal comment about him because he's retired? At least he recognizes his limitations and leaves skippering ships to the younger men. Maybe if a certain Captain Smith had been that smart the RMS Titanic might have outlived her sister ship, the Olympic, with both of them going to scrappers instead of one being on the bottom of the Atlantic now. I would classify Mr. Wood as being pretty smart and knowing when to walk away and enjoy the years he has left. Maybe that's your problem, you boyfriend gave you something the doctors can't cure?

I was in Faial in 2006 and saw the stricken CP Valour with all the pontoons etc around to support refloating / removal of cargo. Then read about how it came to be there in the first place. A misunderstanding led to her being driven aground at 6 knots instead of powered in at 0.6 knots! Then winds and tides made her more stuck. You kind of felt she'd be there forever. Props guys!

It is probably proprietary information, but I wish they would show the financial breakdown of job costs; payroll, fuel, the cost of the tugs, etc. The jack-up barge with crane was probably tens of thousands a day by itself.

The CP Valour did the same thing the USS Oklahoma did. Even after raising them and making them seaworthy enough to be towed, both were so weakened that they just finally gave up and sank. Sometimes even the best you can do will be taken over by forces unforeseen no matter how hard you may try. Both vessels are in their element, lying on the bottom of the sea rather than having been cut up for scrap.

Years ago I served aboard a US Navy fleet tug, which had salvage capability. I remember the rigging, the things I learned and the amazing capabilities of that ship. For those who know working Navy ships, it was an ATF. Sadly it was given to a South American country. But that is better than disposal. I hope they enjoy my fleet tug.

The Costa Concordia was built at a cost of 1 billion US $. The salvage operation - where one of the divers died - cost 2 billion US $. The hull was then scrapped. Since most of the shipwreck was above sea level, it would have been more logical to scrap the sections above the sea level an pile the steel on barges for their removal. The remaining underwater sections could have remained in-situ as a marine-life habitat.

Recovered wrecks often sink once away from land and in the deep ocean. It wasn’t good for anything other than breaking apart anyhow, so not much was lost I guess. In fact, loosing her in the deep was definitely less risky, and probably considerably less costly than transporting her to a yard to be broken.

The salvage team also succeeded in job number one; get the pollutants off and float the wreck off the shore. AND also lost the casualty not far out to sea in deep water. Modern marine salvage is an amazing business.
