M/V 707 VARUNA wreck removal

A sand carrier vessel 707 VARUNA suddenly lost stability during her voyage and sank to the depth of 33 meters, off the coast of Busan, Korea.

After 2 months of rigorous tender process, Korea Salvage was awarded the contract to refloat and scrap the 707 VARUNA (wreck removal).

By utilizing two sheerlegs (1700 ton & 2200 ton capacity), our salvage team successfully lifted the wreck, loaded it on a flat barge, and transported it to a local scrap yard for processing.
