The wreck removal of a Japanese bulk carrier that grounded off Mauritius has now been completed, according to the technical consultants on the job.

Germany's brand Marine Consultants (bMC) advised protection and indemnity insurer Japan P&I Club on the 203,000-dwt Wakashio (built 2007) wreck removal.

The complex job involved removing the remaining aft section of the ship, which was hard aground after the stern was scuttled offshore.
