AAL manages salvage operation


On the north-west coast of Tasmania, AAL Shipping (AAL) has undertaken a salvage operation to remove two tugs from the Mersey River in Devonport that had been sunk by a cement carrier in January this year.

 

New South Wales-based United Salvage engaged AAL to supply a vessel from its longstanding ‘Asia to Australia East Coast Liner Service’. The tugs, the 420 t “York Cove” and the 455 t “Campbell Cove”, were carefully pulled out of the Mersey by the “AAL Melbourne” using its two port-mounted cranes working in tandem.

 

Both tugs were securely lashed to the weather deck of the ‘mega size’ vessel in preparation for their onward shipment to Brisbane and utilising specifically designed cradles loaded previously in Burnie. (sh)
