The flurry of activity subsided at noon before resuming shortly after 1pm, with the team in the smaller boat attempting to pull the floating booms away from the vessel.<\/p>\n
Over the course of the next few hours, workers could be seen attaching more ropes from the crane arm to the wreckage, while divers continued working in the water.<\/p>\n
At around 6pm, the crane lifted the top deck portion of the yacht out of the water as a swarm of onlookers gathered at the marina to watch the operation.<\/p>\n
As it emerged out of the water, small parts of the blackened mass dislodged, having degraded after being submerged for a month.<\/p>\n
It took five minutes for the wreckage to be carefully manoeuvred to the SSE Danakody, where it was lowered slowly. The crew, who were standing a safe distance back, then approached the partial wreck and unclipped it from the crane, their mission for the day accomplished.<\/p>\n
CNA understands that the remaining portion of the hull, which is larger and more complicated to remove, will need another two to three more days of preparatory work that will involve placing inflation devices within it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is unclear how long the entire operation will take, said those who spoke to CNA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
