Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,006 Send Message	So SMIT, the Red Adair of the salvage world, IS involved. You wouldn’t know that from the other thread!

	I'm sure you mentioned SMIT on the other thread, nameslesson So it appears the Egyptian Government had the 'nous' to get in outside help when they realised the size of the problem, and that they'd need powerful equipment - who'd a thunk it! Especially when self appointed 'experts' were deriding them and any other Egyptian. This equipment, would, of course take a few days to get there, hence the delay. .

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,006 Send Message	Yes I Did. Where do you think someone else got the name from. I had mentioned them because they appeared to being left out of the ‘list’ of kinvolved parties.

	It may be the angle at that particular second I watched on television, and it was a fleeting glimpse, but it looked to me that it was listing to port-side ever so slightly. When they check it out, I hope I am wrong.

	It is now free and anchored in the Great Salt Lake whilst they check it over. Edit: Bitter Lake, not Salt Lake Alp Guard and an Egyptian tug are close by (from www.marinetraffic.com).

	..and what was quite a big factor in the ship moving? "The efforts of engineers and tug boat crews were helped enormously by an unusually high tide." :-D :-D :-D Was the global economy saved by a full moon?
