Hang Tong 77 — the stranded cargo ship — has been diverted towards the sea and is expected to be fully rescued by Tuesday afternoon, Geo News reported on Monday.
Gadani’s shipbreaking company’s operation to rescue the stranded ship was fruitful on Monday as the ship has been diverted towards the sea and its engine has also been revived. Geo News reported sources at the Gadani’s shipbreaking company as saying that a floating ‘barge’ was being used to evacuate the ship. A heavy crane attached to the barge was being utilised to free the stranded ship.
During the operation on Monday, the ship was moved 200 meters towards the sea from its old spot, however, the operation had to be halted due to tidal waves.
