Wakashio stern section to be removed by end of January

The remaining stern section of the grounded 203,000-dwt bulker Wakashio (built 2007) is slated to be removed from the coastline of Mauritius by the end of January.

Sudhir Maudhoo, the country's economy, fisheries and marine minister, said the stern section is scheduled to be towed away by barge for dismantling at the island’s Salmo Steel Group by the end of the month.
