It going to be interesting to see how they clear it away the steelwork.
To get that ship clear a big problem without spilling fuel so bridge section on ship very difficult to clear. A cut in the wrong place could make a whole section collapse.
No doubt the engineers and salvage teams working on that and getting the gear together.
I note the diving suits that the team were wearing, we used to call that type Dustbin Liners. We swapped to neoprene suits for wreck diving as better on wrecks.
The best suit that I had was a Dustbin liner type made by Viking Norway and now Sweden. You can still buy identical suit to that I bought back in 1985.
Once they get the ship away I assume that the bridge sections will be cut up with explosives so a floating crane can lift a section for further work in another location. They may use lifting bags as well.
Whatever it may well turn out to be one of the most expensive salvage jobs as you I expect have to clear everything way. We shall see.
