Ten days after salvors called off efforts to tow to safety a burning, laden crude tanker in the Red Sea, tugs are sailing in the region to undertake a second attempt.
Sources following the matter closely told TradeWinds on Thursday that “more powerful means” will be employed than in the initial attempt on 1 September, when the 15,000-bhp Gladiator (built 1977) and the 5,150-bhp Hercules (built 2009) backed out, citing safety concerns.
