Salvage underway to recover superyacht
- An urgent and complex international operation is currently in progress in 2025 to retrieve the 56-metre superyacht that sank near Sicily in 2023.
- The salvage effort follows the ship's sinking during a storm, which resulted in seven fatalities despite the yacht's builder calling it unsinkable.
- Two specialized barges support the salvage, one with advanced underwater drones and diving systems, and the other with an 83-metre crane.
- The operation will first remove the yacht’s 72-metre mast using a remotely operated saw over one metre wide, then thread about ten steel cables to form a lifting harness.
- The salvage team plans to begin lifting the wreck in mid-May 2025, marking a critical phase in recovering the sunken vessel.
