An attempt to salvage the wreck of the ro-pax ferry 6,825-ton Sewol (built 1994) on Saturday was reportedly postponed due to bad weather.

On Saturday, the South Korean government said it canceled its plan to salvage it over the weekend, reports Yonhap news wire.

The operation will now likely take place on or after April 5, when the next neap tide is expected, according to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
