mrsswordfisherman Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Transport for NSW Media Alert 5 SEPTEMBER 2019 Lifting of overturned barge to start today at Pittwater Heavy lifting of the overturned barge off Great Mackerel Beach is on track to start today. The barge is expected to be moved, turned and floated with the help of two crane barges, weather and sea conditions permitting. Work to recover the sewage truck beneath the barge on the seabed floor will start once the barge has been removed and is not scheduled to take place today. Authorities are on site to ensure careful management of the marine environment is maintained to minimise any long term impact. Additional resources are on scene to respond to any further contamination during the complex salvage. Media access to the site, which is subject to an exclusion zone, will be provided only by NSW Maritime patrol boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
