Not much at all, it was Iron Ore from North Western Australia, where the mines many millions of years ago were under the ocean and were part of the ocean floor. Iron ore pellets discharged would break down like they did millions of years ago and form sediment. Depending on the size of the pellets they can be recovered, China stores excess Australian iron ore in the ocean and retrieves it when it needs it.
There's always got to be one "What about the environment" ass lick. Asking questions where they really don't give a shit about the answer, they just want to be seen as the "First Green one"
Some nerves of steel right there... Driving a huge coach from one shaky arse boat to another shaky arse boat using nothing but a makeshift bridge... Was the driver sitting on the comfy seat or was he cushioned even further by his huge balls? I'm thinking the latter.
I Love these type documentarys.
Likewise. It’s a bit like the book Hungry AsThe Sea by Wilbur Smith but thankfully without all the romantic rubbish. 😊
Why did you guys stop making these salvage videos? They're awesome. Please start making them again.
They literally just make cringe social justice videos now.
Because the world has changed :-( I also think they are not as top of the heap as they have been in the past
Wijsmuller:
Great Company, Great People, Great Times !!!
Was very happy and lucky to sail with these great men
Great to see those 😢darkies working hard to get that crude pumped
You make such fun and interesting videos...I truly enjoy each one!!!
Awesome vid!
Love my dutchies. Got a lot off history in and around the waters
The Dutch are the best salvage companies of the world
AMAZING, awesome work, thinking of a logo 🤔, something with a slide rule and a big set o nutz 🤠😝✌️
Old memories of Wijsmuller came up again
brilliant footage
those guys are amazing
Nice,very interesting,thanks for posting
Wish I had looked at this as a career choice 40 years ago!
michael mixon me too. I was the Maytag repairman and it really sucked. 35 years of that and cancer and then disability. What a great life.

Yeah life is Grand ?
Wjsmuller Company, great programmes, please make more of your salvage assignments.
Simply fantastic. My deepest respect to all involved people. Thanks a lot for sharing.
A Monrovian registered vessel. What a surprise🤷🏼♀️
It's absolutely shocking to watch how a 1970's vessel is salvaged & watch how it's done today! Night v day environmentally!!
SUCCES needs an additional "S" for SUCCESS! ;-) Great video by the way, what an amazing business.
Stating a "history of success" is correct. Your spelling would indicate that they had many-that has ended unsuccessfully in some way.
Chalk drawings on a rusty deck. So old school
Was great working for I&J those days but not anymore
What on earth was this ship doing in that place? (Channel Islands.)
What effect has all that iron ore on the environment?

I'm thinking the latter.
When he touched the brakes and the timbers shifted I expect there was even more padding added to the seat.
Seems like several tugs pulling while offloading cargo might have allowed them to pull it off the reef.
24:45 i had no idea espadrilles came with steel tips
Dang the Elmwood mead wasn't very sea worthy appearantly
Ok, I've done enough 'tank diving," I really didn't need the creepy music during the tank work scenes in the last salvage!!!
What about Cox and Danks?
Nostalgia!
4:35 what is that liquen can someone explain?
it's iron ore granules, suspended in water.
@@tech4pros1 No way mate. It is a type of fungus.
Did they not think of the environmental situation in those days? Dumping her cargo overboard can't have been good.
All the Salvaging Shop Wjsmuller Can try to Salvage Raise the Sunken Greek Cruise Vessel Sea Diamond in the Santorini islands.
Betcha they weld padeyes to lash equipment down.
.....I used to belive the I had used some heavy equipment....Wrong again...size matters...when..."SIZE"...really Matters
He moved that....like a bus.....
Damn. On her maiden voyage?
Sounds like someone went broke building her and needed the money back in a bad way. What a poor way for a ship to go.
Discharged lol
and the Sea Empress was not a great outcome- sometimes things do work out so well - politicians are involved here.
Sea Empress was the result of competing nationalistic egos - all making the wrong decisions at the wrong time for the wrong reasons.
Discharged into the sea
Diffrent times
hi
The biggest delays in the bus-carrier salvage were caused by frequently having to utter the name of the ship.
