RIVERDANCE – PROGRESS ON DISMANTLING
All cargo and trailers have now been removed from the Riverdance, and the spring tidal cycle progression over the next 10 days will allow lengthy periods of time to work on the vessel over the low water periods.
Over the next few days the outline of the vessel to the observer ashore will change. The stern section and the bow section along with the port side ballast tanks will start to disappear and reduce the overall outline of the `Riverdance considerably. Work will continue inside the vessel cleaning and clearing the engine.
Donald McDonald, Counter Pollution and Salvage Officer said
Very good progress has been achieved to date and the overall project remains on schedule, which is a credit to the work done by both Contractors; Hancocks and PGC.
