Divers used a pump truck onboard a barge to retrieve more than 1,900 litres of diesel fuel from the Chief Joseph, which sank May 3
A fishing vessel that sank off Henry Island early this month with nearly full fuel tanks was pumped out and raised intact without causing any significant environmental damage, officials in Washington state say.
Salvage operations got underway last week with divers from Global Diving and Salvage using a pump truck on board a barge to retrieve about 1,900 litres of diesel fuel from the Chief Joseph’s tanks. “The fishing boat sank in shallow water and didn’t slide any deeper, which was fortunate because it is a high energy, high current location,” Cowan said. “We didn’t know how it was going to unfold, but we were lucky in this case.”
