Abandoned longliner towed to St. Helena Bay

Tue May 05 13:44:25 CEST 2026 Timsen

The South African Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) has intensified efforts to manage the maritime safety and environmental risks posed by the wreck of the 'De Fu No. 2', which was abandoned following a fire in September 2025 and was located offshore of the Western Cape. This week recent reports of wreckage sightings along the coastline had prompted the authority to activate an Incident Management System (IMS) in cooperation with national and international stakeholders to monitor the situation and mitigate potential risks. Since the first confirmed sighting on April 9, 2026, a series of navigational warnings have been issued to vessels operating in the area. Ongoing response efforts have been informed by continuous drift modelling, satellite tracking, and visual confirmations by passing vessels and South African naval assets. The salvage vessel 'Admiraal de Ruiter' was deployed to the longliner and successfully installed marker buoys, fitted an AIS system, and secured a towing line. These measures ensured that control of the wreck was maintained while stakeholders within the IMS structure considered the most appropriate course of action. As the condition of the wreck remained stable following the sighting, it was decided to move the vessel into a protected area off St. Helena Bay for a comprehensive assessment by a specialist dive and salvage team to determine the most suitable method for the wreck’s final disposal. The wreck has since been secured on an anchor spread, with multiple anchors deployed to prevent movement under forecast weather and sea conditions. The salvage vessel 'Sea Carrier' remained on site, fully equipped with diving support and pollution response capabilities. No pollution had been detected to date and environmental monitoring continued. The salvage and towage operations are being coordinated by the vessel’s protection and indemnity insurers in close consultation with Sama and relevant authorities.
