First tugboat successfully raised after Devonport accident with cement carrier ship Goliath
The operation to lift the first of two Tasmanian tugboats that were sunk in January has exposed the damage done to them by a massive cement carrier in Devonport.
On Sunday, the heavy-lift ship AAL Melbourne lifted the first wrecked tug, the York Cove, from the Mersey River.
In a statement, TasPorts chief operating officer Stephen Casey said TasPorts, its insurer (Shipowners) and United Salvage had been "working diligently on the salvage effort".
"The lift of the first tug was a slow process, but it needed to be," he said.
