From my experience from the ships i own for my bath - all you need to do is just lift it up out of the water at one end, let the water drain out and re-float......... simples

You haven't had fun at work until you get someone to bump start a Stihl saw when the pull cord has snapped

Its ok David they'll probably bump start it, plenty of labourers hanging around to give it a quick push.

£500m is just the start apparently
Scrap value can't be much can it?
Who pays for all this I wonder - ship's owner or Lloyds?
Fantastic achievement in getting her back up though
