Salvage to commence end of April

Wed Apr 16 11:36:34 CEST 2025 Timsen

The salvage start of the "Bayesian" will be on 'April 26, and the wreck is to brought to shore by the end of May, Simon Graves, a principal investigator for the Marine Accident Investigation Branch told a pre-inquest hearing said on April 15. The inquests into the deaths of Lynch and the other three British victims are being held in Ipswich. Inquests were opened and adjourned in October pending the completion of probes by both the UK investigators and a criminal inquiry by Italian prosecutors. An MAIB interim report on whether there were any breaches of maritime legislation could be published online in four to six weeks, with the final report to follow in months. The Coroner Nigel Parsley said he was in the hands of the criminal investigations as to when a final inquest hearing date could be set. The inquest in the UK is examining the deaths of the British tech mogul Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah, 18, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his 71-year-old wife Judy Bloomer, who were also British nationals. The others who died were US lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo, and Canadian-Antiguan national Recaldo Thomas, who was working as a chef on the yacht. Angela Bacares, Lynch's wife and Hannah's mother, was among the 15 survivors.

Salvage start fixed

Tue Mar 04 11:01:19 CET 2025 Timsen

The start of the salvage of the "Bayesian" has been set for April 20 . The complex operation is intended to bring clarity into the cause of the sinking on a water depth of 50 meters deep off the coast of Porticello. The sinking of the yacht on Aug19, 2024, has left many unanswered questions. Experts have speculated about the causes of the rapid sinking. One theory waas that open hull flaps such as the large stern platform or the side boarding platform could have played a role. But even in this case, watertight bulkheads between the lazarette, engine room and cabins should have prevented an immediate sinking - unless one of the bulkhead doors was open. Another hypothesis focused on the wind attack surface of the mast. Even without sails set, the massive mast in combination with hurricane gusts could have caused a strong heeling. This in turn would have partially lifted the hull out of the water and given the wind additional attack surface. The lifting keel of the "Bayesian", which could vary between 4.05 and 9.38 meters in draft, could have further reduced the righting moment in the raised position. The salvage will be carried out by a consortium of insurers led by British Marine. The plan is to first turn the yacht onto its keel and then bring it to the surface using cranes or innovative buoyancy systems. After being raised, the "Bayesian" will be taken to Palermo for a forensic examination. This examination is of crucial importance as an investigation into manslaughter and murder is underway in Italy. At the same time, an inquest into the deaths of four British victims has been opened in the Coroner's Court in Ipswich in the United Kingdom. The findings could have far-reaching consequences for the safety standards of superyachts and possibly lead to changes in design and construction.

Salvage scheduled to commence in April

Fri Feb 28 10:20:29 CET 2025 Timsen

After more than eight months, the salvage of the "Bayesian" has been scheduled to begin on April 20. The specialist company commissioned to do the work is expected to have raised the wreck by mid-May. Apart from the 75-meter-high mast, all parts of the "Bayesian" will be salvaged. In November, it was reported that neither the mast would be cut off nor fuel and oil drained from the tanks in order not to destroy evidence. After the salvage, the ship will be brought to the port of Termini Imerese near Palermo, where the responsible public prosecutor's office is also based. The public prosecutor's office hopes that the salvage will provide information about the cause of the sinking. Investigations have been launched against the captain and two other members of the crew. But there is also the question of whether the Italian shipyard is to blame for the sinking of the yacht.
