Modern Express: ShoreTension system to right tilting vessel
The Koninklijke Roeiers Vereeniging Eendracht (KRVE) (Royal Boatmen Association Eendracht) will be using their innovative ShoreTension system to right the "Modern Express" so that unloading can start.
The vessel is currently awaiting unloading in Bilbao and KRVE assistance has been requested in order to achieve this. The "Modern Express" will be held in position using six ShoreTensions, with the ShoreTensions absorbing the vessel’s forces on the warps and compensating for the vessel’s movements.
This will enable the cargo to be removed from the vessel safely.
