fully submerged, which adds to
the complexity of the equipment
and experience required in their
removal.
In addition, the circumstances
surrounding each vessel, which
are now considered as un-sea-
worthy, vary to the extent that
each vessel has to be looked at
and treated differently, with
processes ranging from legal to
strictly logistical, tailor made for
each vessel. These preparations
and processes are already un-
derway, together with a number
of operations through which, to
date, have already recovered and
removed, a number of vessels.
These operations will contin-
ue taking place throughout the
coming months until our objec-
tives are reached, with related
Notices to Mariners issued in
the interest of safety of naviga-
tion, preservation of good order,
and the prevention of pollution.
This, together with the collabo-
ration of all industry stakehold-
ers, will result in a more efficient
and multimodal port.
