Ship collision – Barge carrying Hableány wreck on its way to Csepel port

Change language:

The barge carrying the wreck of the Hableány sightseeing boat which sank in central Budapest on May 29 is now on its way to the Csepel port in the south of the city, where it will undergo further examinations, public broadcaster M1 reported on Tuesday afternoon.

The Clark Adam crane, with its work complete, has left its position at Margit Bridge and a pusher has been brought in and hooked to the barge, M1’s on-site correspondent said.

The Hableány will now be examined in the Csepel port by nautical and technical experts, in collaboration with staff members of the prosecutor’s office.

Experts have already begun studying the wreck so that they could make note of any changes that may have occurred in the structure as it was being raised from the river.
