Say goodbye to the Pasha Bulker. The ill fated ship that ran up on an Australian beach last month is finally under tow on her way to an unkown shipyard. Towing her is Nippon Slavage’s “Koyo Maru“, a powerful 86 meter salvage tug with a 132.5 ton bollard pull capability.

Many thanks to the local Newcastle photographers, pilots, salvage experts and the 5,819 individual Australian readers who helped us take the lead in reporting this remarkable story!
