Pockets of good weather have finally allowed salvage experts to gain access to the wreck of an Ultrabulk-controlled ship that grounded in South Africa during a storm last week.
The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) said in its latest update on the casualty published on Tuesday that the waves that battered the 13,800-dwt Ultra Galaxy (built 2008) for nearly a week as it lay on its starboard side off a beach washed away many of the hatches of its cargo holds.
