Towing wire broke - salvage aborted
Work to salvage the "Green Freezer" by the Coast Guard was more complicated than expected.
The towing wire between the patrol vessel "Thor" and the "Green Freezer" broke in the first attempt on Sep 19 at noon.
The ship moved little or nothing when trying to pull it off. The crew of the patrol vessel was now examining the situation and continued to work to lighten the ship.
It was unclear ift another attempt would be started tonight.
