SA Navy to resume Seli 1 wreck reduction activities
The Multi-Agency Task Team monitoring the recent wreck reduction operation of the Seli 1 has announced that further wreck reduction activities will commence during the week starting Monday 27 May 2013, subject to favourable weather conditions. The team is pleased with the outcome of the initial reduction efforts by the SA Navy's Operational Diving Team (ODT). Follow-up assessments undertaken by the ODT have revealed substantial weakening of key areas of the wreck (as initially intended), as well as the breaking up of the wreck in the weeks since the operation concluded. The assessments however identified additional areas that require intervention, and a decision was made to resume wreck reduction activities in order to reduce potential pollution risks. All necessary precautionary measures are being implemented by the Task Team to ensure the surrounding environment is protected and disruption to the public is kept to a minimum.   As from Tuesday, 28 May 2013, people will be required to adhere to the following safety measures until further advised:   The entire beach and dune area opposite the wreck will be closed to the public, and demarcated parking areas will be off-limits A radius of approximately 1 000m surrounding the wreck will be off-limits to all vessels and water users during the operation Access to the airspace surrounding the wreck will be prohibited, and aircraft will not be allowed to operate in the vicinity Active policing of the restricted areas will be performed by various law enforcement agencies. The wreck is unstable and dangerous and should not be approached under any circumstances.
