Epic Tsunami Salvage: Cabo de Hornos | Autentic Documentary

Video Description

This salvage masters episode tells the story of the salvage of the Cabo de Hornos research vessel that became stranded on dry land after an earthquake and tsunami in Chile in 2010. The vessel had just been built at the Talcahuano Naval Base in Chile and was waiting to be launched when the area was hit by a massive earthquake and the vessel broke free from its chains. It drifted perilously out to sea, and then, an even worse disaster struck: a tsunami from the same earthquake slammed the ship back up onto the land. The Dutch company Mammoet Salvage developed a detailed salvage plan to recover the vessel, by picking it up with SPMTs (Self-Propelled Modular Trailers: versatile units which are highly mobile and can lift heavy loads) which would transfer the 2000 ton vessel to a barge moored in a drydock. The ship was successfully floated free of the barge and launched once again. #tsunamisalvage #cabodehornos #salvage ______ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@AutenticDocumentary/?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autentic.documentary TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@autenticdocumentary Website: https://www.autentic.com Autentic Documentary is the ultimate source for captivating documentaries on a wide range of topics.
