GmBH. The award-winning yacht, valued at over €30m, was taken
to Palma and was in the possession and control of salvors and her
owners/insurers.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank the salvors for
their hard work,” read a statement from Peters & May. “This has
been a very delicate operation carried out in difficult conditions
and we are thankful for their efforts.”
Following the recovery, Peters & May stated that ‘it has
recently transpired during the investigations that the cradle
provided by the yacht owners had undergone an undisclosed
and apparently uncertified modification prior to shipment. This
modification appears to have resulted in the failure of the yacht’s
cradle’.
