  • This specific submarine is broken in two parts and contains 65 tons of mercury.
  • the submarine must therefore be handled with extreme care to recover all the mercury as the mercury represent a considerable threat to the environment.
  • the submarine is located in the North Sea and the weather and wave conditions pose a considerable challenge for careful recovery.
