Smit are the same Dutch experts that salvage the vessel blocking the Suez canal some months ago. No one else was able to do that. Hopefully this is also what Smit recommend and not what the president recommend

It should have been towed back a week or so ago. Yet another delayed action

This gets more catastrophic every day. One can only wonder what other disasters will hit us, and how this sinking will unfold to destroy our environment. (Not to mention all those living along the coast and the fishermen.)

So they have to wait for the President. Shouldn't they take the decision on what course of action to be taken. Maybe they waited for the President to tell them what time to start fighting the fire.......

Reply to Disillusioned: yes, Smit is a subsidiary of Boskalis Salvage, but hired by your government so they probably have no jurisdiction.

Hoping and praying Sir and the government also sinks with it so this country can be saved from this misery of utterly rubbish management.

This stupid moron of a President had to wait until the stern of the ship was going below the water level to order it to be towed to the deep sea. Can this be justified.
