Salvage of motor vessel Holmatindur at Walvis Bay, Namibia. The vessel capsized and sank three hours before it was for docking. Poor stability was the cause of this very costly incident. It took some time to lift the vessel removing all nets, oil, cables to make it safe to work on. Also, finding all the leaks and making the vessel watertight before lifting her was a major job.
