SINGAPORE – Operations to lift a pleasure craft that sank off the Southern Islands last week are under way as the search for a missing man continues for the fourth day.
The missing person was one of three people on the pleasure craft, which collided with a supply vessel at about 4.15am on March 27, said the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) after the incident.
In photos of the salvage operations taken on March 30, a yellow crane can be seen on a floating platform, with its jib – or arm – extending upwards and dangling a hook above the water surface.
A smaller boat, believed to be an MPA vessel, can be seen next to the floating platform. Pulau Bukom – a key oil and petrochemical facility – can be seen in the background.
