As a master mariner with over 20 years exp at Sea, this is something I would never want to exp. in my life. There was some medical issue with some crew and the fight onboard led to damage to the engine/electrical controls while the vessel was on a SW course of Mauritius towards Atlantic Ocean. Resultant was thst all engine power was lost and vessel drifted towards the island and aground. 94 Miles off aftsr her salvage she sunk to 4400m to the bed of Indian Ocean. The Salvage Video is exceptional, the hard work that goes into this is remarkable esp removal of fuel oil fm Engine room and working machinery and bunker tanks. Kudos to the salvors.

I was wondering about the "no cure no pay aspect". I'm guessing, but In this case, the 'cure' was probably the removal of vessel from coastal waters for which they probably did get paid.

Can I ask how the hole(s) beneath the hull were treated before pressurization took place. When she ran aground the damage below looked extensive.

[@flightisallright]

@Mike L I guess that's what doomed the vessel. A bowl will float well if placed into water upright. Turn it around and it will still float, but will be very sensitive to the slightest imbalance and won't have any of the self-rightibg properties. But it was a laudable effort nonetheless.

[@harveysmith100]

You have a point there Keith. Like so much of the world, things are run by accounts with no practical experience. (Boeing 737max) Eventually it comes back to bite them, cost the company a fortune, but instead of sacking the accountants, (that never happens) they ask the accountants how do we recover this cost? Oh, we need to have a cost saving exercise. These men are two expensive, get rid of them. And so it goes on. Playing devil's advocate, running a ship aground is a standard procedure for all Captains if capsize or singing is likely.

You can see in the final shot just how much uncontrolled seawater is onboard, ship is very ass heavy. Ever been in a part sunk yacht, handles like a constant nightmare. Can imagine that it only took a little more seawater washing around to have enough momentum to flip the ship, very lucky the tug boat was not taken with it.

[@TOPIKTOAD]

Five Oceans Salvage reported Saturday that the vessel sank at 1730 local time at a chartered depth of 4,400 meters. The vessel turned over by the stern at approximately 1335 local time after having developed a severe stern trim, prompting the tug Ionian Sea FOS to use the tow line quick release in anticipation of Benita’s imminent sinking.

Your video has So many good and unusual scenes that I hesitate to point out the weak spots. The sound level for the back round music is very distracting. I tried turning down the sound on my IPad and that helped. I think the actual physical setup for ship salvage is where my interest lies. More videography time spent on the physical aspect of the operation would seem worth doing. Setting up tow cables, on the spot videos of the actual repair made to the hull. Your video crew does great work and captures the massive project with all the attending helicopters, massive sea going tugs and the huge tasks involved in just towing an otherwise sound ship just a few hundred yards to safety. The in flight helio shots were unique and added another aspect of drama to an other wise static project. Except for the equipment and men moving here and there on and near the ship there is no action, I mean the ship doesn't move an inch, until it is dragged free of the basalt outcropping and returned to the open sea. I would like to have seen the actual movement off the rocks. Since the salvage of the ship was the point of this video. I liked it very much and am going to sucrose.

The geared bulker Benita ran aground on reefs near the small city of Mahebourg, Mauritius, on June 17, reportedly due to an attempted mutiny and a brawl among her 23 Taiwanese and Filipino crew. The London P&I Club - the Benita's insurer - said in a statement that the vessel had grounded because "a crew member . . . suffered a serious medical episode which led to him attacking one colleague before causing extensive damage to the engine room systems that led to a loss of power to the vessel."

Does pumping compressed air (rather than just empty space) into the cargo holds increase the buoyancy significantly? Or is there another reason?

[@OOpSjm]

Its to stop water coming in the hole in the side.

the holds had water in them, by pressurizing the holds, the air pressure in the holds then pushes the water out of the holds and therefore you get "empty space" for buoyancy..
