By Vel Moonien in Mauritius –
Six months after the scuttling of the Wakashio’s bow, the dismantling of the stern has finally kicked off in Pointe d’Esny, Mauritius. The parts will be transported on a special barge to Port-Louis’ harbor before being handed over to a local scrap metal recycling specialist.
The operation kicked into gear on Monday with experts from the Chinese company Lianyungang Dali Underwater Engineering on-site for the dismantling of the 75-meter bow of the Wakashio, which has been stuck on the reef since last July.
The operation, which is expected to be completed by the end of March depending on weather conditions, comes six months after the bow of the 225-meter long ore carrier was scuttled by the Dutch salvage company Smit International about 20 nautical miles from Old Grand Port.
On Saturday, December 19, the National Crisis Committee authorised access to the waters of the Blue-Bay Marine Park one of the jewels of the island, Mauritius.
This comes after several months of draining and intense cleanup efforts in light of the devastating oil spills from the wreck of the diesel and fuel carrying MV Wakashio vessel back on July 26.
The public will now be able to access the most popular beaches on the south-east coast of the island and restrictions have also been lifted for several popular public beaches with swimming, diving and boat trips being permitted.
Nevertheless, fishing in the lagoon will remain prohibited and clean-up operations are still underway to try to erase the traces of the ecological disaster.
