Klaipėda Mayor Vytautas Grubliauskas says that it has been decided that this ship should not be on the Dane River, but does not know how that resolution will be implemented.
The morning meeting was attended by representatives of the shipowners, AB Klaipėdos laivų remontas, divers, as well as the captain of the port of Klaipėda and the director of the beaches of JV Klaipėdos.
The following reason for the sinking of the ship was preliminarily established: the cone-shaped wooden plug of the pipe of the cooling and ventilation system was expelled, therefore, the water filled the bottom of the ship very quickly.
The mayor made a sad joke that Ole Willessen sank very fast like a submarine.
“It’s not a bottle of dry wine, so you can cover it. In this case, these plugs can only be used for a very short time and under the supervision of specialists ”, explained V. Grubliauskas.
On Friday there was talk of the need to start pumping water from all the cavities of the ship immediately. It was suggested not to plug the pipes of the cooling system around the waterline, but to boil them and then leave the Dane River.
The question arises. where that ship must now be transported. According to the mayor, several options are being considered. One of them, right on the dock of the boat repair company.
The owners of the ship talk that they are ready to sail that ship to Norway, but, according to V. Grubliauskas, today, when its condition is like this, it is already a challenge to navigate it to the dock.
“The ship will definitely set sail from the Dane River. The third generation must stop lying,” said V. Grubliauskas.
Asked if the ship Ole Willassen could not remain ashore as a historical heritage, he replied: “Its historical weight is that it is the only ship, if not in the world, at least in Europe, that has sunk in the same place three times. , all the time, he was reborn and waited again next time.
I suggested submitting documents to the Guinness Book of Records, but we don’t need those records. “
