Summary

A massive problem solved. Salvage experts took a big gamble when they attempted to move the cut-in-two Norwegian tanker, "Sitakund", which caught fire last October and was beached a mile from the resort’s east front. They managed to refloat both halves despite the grave risk of explosion from trapped gasses in the tanker’s tanks.
