M.F.V. SEAFLOWER (EX HOLMATINDUR)CAPSIZED ALONGSIDE AT
WALVIS BAY - JULY 2008
The SEAFLOWER whilst preparing to enter drydock,
was deballasting, and (somewhat ignorantly) adding weights onto the
foredeck in order to reduce the trim, so as to be docked with an appropriate
trim.
She took on a dramatic list (angle of LOL) due to
loss of stability (GM) upon which the crew allegedly transferred some
fuel to the other side, which results in the vessel rolling through
her LOL angle to the otherside but continuing to capsize.
The Salvage is ongoing through the company Elgin
Brown Hamer (Walvis), who contracted Triton Naval Architects to perform
some of the Salvage Simulation Calculations, using GHS Ship Stability
and Salvage software.
