Wreck has shifted, cargo floated away
Over the past few days, sacks of bran were seen floating from the sunken 'VSG Glory' off the beach of Mövenpick Hotel in Quseir. The Mövenpick hotel personnel immediately began collecting them in coordination with Quseir City Council, where they were transported and buried at the city’s public landfill. The Egyptian Navy reported that the wreck has shifted and settled at a shallower depth than before. Some sacks were found drifting from the back reef area to the shore and have been removed.No oil pollution was detected in the area. A part of the 'VSG Glory' appeared above the surface and then disappeared again. The Ministry of Environment represented by the Red Sea Regional Branch and the General Directorate of Red Sea Protectorates, along with the hotel, Quseir City Council, the Navy, and the Red Sea Security Directorate, responded to the observations. Any strange objects observed in this area should be reported via the HEPCA App or WhatsApp at 01016006640.
Stern re-surfaced for a few minutes
On Sep 5, 2025, the sunken 'VSG Glory', which has been resting below the surface, has unexpectedly floated back up. The bow re-surfaced for about 10 minutes, probably due to gases of rotting cargo. Eco & Heritage was closely monitoring the situation to check if there wee any leakages from the ship or if there were fragments of wreckage that might pose an environmental or navigational risks.
