Technical review of salvage plan

To adjust the excessive trim or heeling cause of flooding or stranding and to guarantee a sufficient stability, or to refloat the stranded ship, follwoing actions should be taken.

• Ballasting or de-ballasting
• Weight(Oil) Transfer
  The weight(oil) or ingress water(ballast water) shall be transferred to other place in the ship by using the available piping system or crane, etc.
• Lightering
  The weight(oil) or ingress water(ballast water) shall be transferred outboard by using the available piping system or crane, etc.
• Maintaining the constant air-pressure in damaged compartment
  In case of bottom damage, the pressurized air should be flowed into flooded compartment to reserve the compartment buoyance. It can be possible to use the equipment.
• Tidal Change
  If the ship is stranded, tidal change is very important. Considering this point help to find the minimum(optimum) way to refloat.
