The Angel 1 will leave the reefs of Poudre-d'Or in mid-November

The Angel 1 will continue to be part of the decoration of Poudre-d'Or. At least until mid-November. The authorities predict, in fact, the refloating of the Panamanian cargo ship during this period. 

Much against his will, the ship ended up a prisoner of the reef 2.7 nautical miles north of this village on the night of August 8 on. This, following an engine failure while en route to Ivory Coast with 32 000 tonnes of rice. 

Since then, the recovery operation by a Greek firm continues, but has been delayed many times by the bad weather. With the summer weather having improved, the damage to the hull that caused an entry of water into the engine room was eventually found.

 A crack between blocks 4 and No. 5 was detected and must be repaired within days. At sea, the transfer of rice continues. At Thursday, October 27, 7653 tons of rice were removed from the holds of cargo. 

5593 tons of rice are still in good condition and were taken ashore in Port Louis. Rice continues abyss, he, to be removed and then be disposed of at sea.

The rice should stop shedding when the engineer of the Greek firm that will establish the required mass was removed to facilitate the lift. To do this, another tug abroad, the Coral Fos was called to the rescue, the N'Dongeni to return to Mozambique after helping to transfers of equipment on board the Angel 1.
