SYDNEY — Fire extinguishers, batteries and other potential threats to the environment are now being removed from the wreckage of the MV Miner that sits on the shores of Scatarie Island. The provincial government hired Dutch salvage company Mammoet Salvage to begin the latest operation on board the vessel, which broke free of a tow line last month while being hauled to a European scrapyard.

After the initial start up steady progress is made in Mauretania. All assets are utilized to the fullest and wrecks are turning into clean cut scrap.
