A monumental engineering achievement. Bravo for the salvage team!

Now they have to weld another series of containers on the starboard side of the ship. Then comes the fun of pumping out the containers on port and starboard sides to lift the carcass using bouyancy. The building of the platform and righting the ship are just the first steps in a long engineering job.
