German Bight: Floating Crane Lifts First Part of 'Verity' Wreck

A floating crane lifted a 600-ton stern section of the sunken freighter 'Verity' from a depth of 40 meters in the German Bight. The collision between the 'Verity' and the freighter 'Polesie' resulted in the death of the captain and five crew members, with four still missing.

The wreckage, located in a restricted area, is being towed to the Netherlands for proper disposal. The salvage operation was aided by favorable weather conditions and wave heights.

The recovery process involved removing hazardous materials and 187 steel band rolls from the wreck before the stern section was lifted. The bow section, weighing 580 tons, is scheduled to be recovered on Tuesday.

The incident took place in October 2023, and the discovery of another body in the wreckage recently added to the tragic toll.
