Angel 1: Evacuation by helicopter a team member of Greek bailout

A team member of the Greek salvage company found itself in trouble on a Panamanian freighter Angel, Monday, Sept. 12. After a fall, he had his leg stuck between two iron bars. The police helicopter has been dispatched to evacuate. He was then taken over by the relief on the football field Powder-d'Or, before being taken to a private clinic.

As for the unloading of the cargo of rice from the Panamanian cargo ship, she was disturbed by heavy seas yesterday Monday, September 12. Thor Gitta, Danish cargo ship specially chartered for the transfer of part of the cargo of 32,000 tons of rice from an Angel, has left-d'Or powder before setting sail for Port-Louis with only one 600 tonnes of rice. He approached the harbor at about 15 hours yesterday afternoon.

To recap, the Panamanian cargo ship was en route to Ivory Coast a month ago when he found himself on the reefs, off-d'Or powder. An engine failure forced him to approach the north coast of the island but when the repairs were made, the captain realized that the ship had taken on the bow all the breakers.

The propellers damaged and several feet of water in the engine room led the Mauritian authorities to set up an anti-spill. A Greek team has been recruited by the owner to pull an Angel this delicate situation.

The Greek team these days expect a lull in terms of time in order to resume the transfer of bags of rice. The operation took longer than expected due to weather execrable.

Meanwhile, divers are continuing their part of work to release the cargo of the reefs. Their task is to repair the damaged hull to allow the ship to return to sea, once it was towed off the rocks.

In addition to the cargo of rice, 1,150 cubic meters of fuel oil mixed with sea water in the engine room have already been pumped into the tanks of the "bunker barge" Menorca. All this was brought smoothly to Port Louis.
