The operation to refloat the 'Hephaestus' on Qawra Point since Feb 10 was entering its final stages at Fra Ben. The salvage was being carried out by Cassar Ship Repair and started in May with a detailed assessment of the vessel. Underwater damage to the hull was then plugged. Small slipways have been placed under the hull and the ship was being gently pushed back into the sea by hydraulic jacks and pulled by a tug stern first. Once afloat, the vessel will be towed to the contractor’s ship repair facility in Marsa. Transport Malta and the Environment and Resources Authority were monitoring the operation.
