Overview

• After ten months underwater, Hebo Lift10 cranes coordinated by TMC Marine raised the yacht from 50 meters beneath Porticello in a ten-hour, €25–30 million operation.
• Controlled water expulsion and submersion tests are set to verify the hull’s integrity and search for hidden breaches before the yacht reaches shore.
• Dutch diver Robcornelis Maria Huijben died during the salvage phase after being struck by debris following an underwater explosion.
• Procura di Termini Imerese has charged captain James Cutfield, marine engineer Tim Parker Eaton and watchman Matthew Griffith with manslaughter and negligent shipwreck.
• Forensic and technical experts will conduct thorough inspections at a secured dock in Termini Imerese to determine if design flaws or human error led to the August sinking.
