Riverdance ferry ashore at blackpool....
Mark_Solesbury:
In the second pic, there is a rope of some sort off to the right.. Is that some attempt to stop it tipping over then? If it wanted to go, would that really stop it?
Its gone completely out of the news now, so i assumed that it had been floated.
How on earth are they gonna recover it?

No need for overkill, a Freelander 2 would do it.

Well, I'm not a salvage contractor but I have read a fair bit about it. At a guess, they'll try to make her lighter and sort that list out to begin with (as otherwise she'll just float away leaning like that - not helpful!). What I can't figure out is how you'd make it lighter. You can't crane the lorries off as there just isn't enough water to get a floating crane in. I guess you could just dump them over the side then drag them off the beach but the insurers/H&S might not be too keen!
The internal garage deck will be a real mess. Everything will have slid to the starboard side. Assuming she has a conventional layout with stairwells in the centre of the deck then on one side there'll probably be a 6-10ft drop from the doors onto a pile of lorries, while on the other side you won't be able to get onto the deck due having a pile of lorries on the doors! That will probably have to wait until the ship is righted and towed into harbour.
