Last Time of Maritime Salvation

The Dutch private SMIT company takes over the "Blue Star" refleet operations. It will urgently present a rescue plan to the Maritime Capitality (it has been given a 24-hour period)... the operation of this afternoon of the Maritime Rescue is suspended. The decision was communicated shortly before the new attempt to tow the ship scheduled for 1440 hours, coinciding with the plamar. In the two previous attempts, the ends installed between the "Blue Star" and the tugs broke, so it was impossible to drag it.

The technicians who run the ship's rescue device have agreed this Sunday in A Coruña that the next initiatives aim at the complete emptying of the chemist's tanks, which store their fuel reserves. Sources of the operation have reported that SMIT has already taken over the trailer of the "Prestige" in open sea after bouncing off the Galician coast in 2002.

23 / 11 / 2019: Salvamento Marítimo tries to reflex the chemist "Blue Star" with the plamar in the river of Ares

The "Blue Star" waiting to be reflected in the Ares Ria

The "Blue Star," a 12-foot-long chemist, was about midnight in the Ares River, in the area known as "As Mirandas" on the north-west of the coast of the province of La Coruña, in the Gulf of Artabró... Luckily, some personal damage had not to be accounted for, and since it sailed vacuum from the port of Bilbao, nor significant environmental damage.

At the time of the next plating, the first attempt to reflect the ship will be made. In the area is the rescue ship "Don Inda," which is added to other troops that have arrived in the last hours, case of the ships "Ria de Vigo," "María Pita," "Hocho" and "Ibaizábal Nine," as well as the helicopter Helimer 401.

The ship is in ballast (its previous load was of sulfuric acid) and there is no novelty in the crew and it ended up on the stones pushed by the strong winds caused by the "Cecilia" storm... Salvamento Marítimo has reported that he was drifted by a fire in the fireplace, that the crew tried to suffocate him by firing the CO2 batteries and ran out of machine when he tried to flatter in the river to guard himself from the storm.
