(With video) On 5 December 2012, the car carrier Baltic Ace sank with more than 1400 cars on board after a collision with a container ship near the entrance of the main shipping lane leading to Rotterdam port. Rijkswaterstaat contracted Boskalis and its partner Mammoet Salvage for the wreck removal operation.
Although the wreck salvage has long since been concluded, this video gives a glimpse behind the scenes of this remarkable salvage operation. The picture is a still from the same video (by Smit Salvage).
