Port agrees plan to remove OS35 wreck

Gibraltar Port Authority has confirmed the proposal to remove the OS35 bulk carrier which was damaged off Gibraltar earlier this year. TMC Marine, which is overseeing the project on behalf of the ship's insurers and owners, can now go ahead and award the contract for the salvage operation to their preferred bidder, Dutch company Koole Contractors. Work will then begin on the removal of the wreck and all its contents, following the port's instructions.
