The bad weather last week led to the sinking of a Victorian Barge, the Eben Haezer, on its moorings alongside the Wharf Pub in Atlantic Wharf, Cardiff. EDS encountered a technically challenging salvage operation to raise the barge, which weighed around 80t, as it had sunk within 4-5m providing little or no draft beneath for standard lift bag operations.
Following an emergency rescue of a 5 man fishing crew from a striken vessel within the Milford Haven waterway, the EDS Salvage team attended the incident to assess options for salvage and recovery.
