China Offshore Engineering Solutions (COES) has won the contract for the wreck removal of an X-Press Feeders containership off Sri Lanka.
The company recently underwent a name change and is better known in marine circles under its former name, Shanghai Salvage Co.
It will work alongside US firm Resolve Maritime, which has been acting as caretaker of the wreck, and has now been awarded a contract to handle the debris of the 2,756-teu X-Press Pearl (built 2021).
