After six weeks of complex salvage and inspection efforts in the Canadian Arctic, the Dutch cargo ship Thamesborg has finally been refloated and departed safely through the Northwest Passage, escorted by support vessels toward the North Atlantic.
The ship, owned by Royal Wagenborg, was successfully refloated after cargo was reloaded and flooded ballast tanks were drained using specialized pumping systems. Once stabilized, the vessel moved to Wrottesley Inlet for safety checks and final assessments before resuming its voyage.
