Here are the previous posts in this series, showing the removal and disposal of the wreck of the RORO Baltic Ace, which sank after a collision in December 2012.
After more than two years underwater, this is how things appear.
Many thanks for these photos to Jan Oosterboer via Fred Trooster.

In the old times, wrecks were supposed to be “artificial reefs”, a kind of “full of life oasis” in the sea…
But after 3 years this hull looks more like a desert : I wonder what kind of submarine paint they use … 😦
