Salvage operation has started
The "Yeruslan" remained trapped in the Amur Bay waters, but a huge rescue operation was launched on Feb 18, 2017, with water being pumped from the partially submerged vessel. Thieves were blamed for running the ship aground and setting it on fire after stealing parts for scrap metal using oxygen acetylene torches to remove parts of the ship. The stern nearly completely underwater and the bow lifted off the surface. Long pipes were used to pump the water out of the hull in a bid to free the ship.

Looters set arrested vessel on fire
The "Yeruslan", arrested for debts, had been docked in the Amur Bay of Vladivostok for two years. When someone posted photos and information about the desolate vessel on the internet, the ship was looted in less than a week. On Jan 31, 2017, the ship caught fire and was gutted completely. In 2015, the "Yeruslan" was arrested. The crew were hoping that the owner would pay them salary and refused to leave the ship to the last.
