Wreck removal Baltic Ace
On 5 December 2012, the car carrier Baltic Ace sank with more than 1,400 cars on board after a collision with a container ship near the entrance of the main shipping lane leading to Rotterdam port. Rijkswaterstaat contracted Boskalis and its partner Mammoet Salvage for the wreck removal operation.

A massive and worthwhile effort. From the viewpoint of a viewer, however, where is the footage of the clean sea bed? That was after all the point of this whole exercise.

You can't see shit in the North Sea, so what footage would you expect? They did show that they removed all the scrap piece by piece.

How on earth could anyone bid on a project like that? There are so many unknowns and ways it could fail. And on another subject, who on earth makes a map where the land is blue and the sea is white?
