Salvage of Tricolor Using Long Range Kinematic GPS
Overview MV Tricolor is a 1987 built Norwegian flagged vehicle carrier, which was struck by MV Kariba, a Bahamian flagged container ship in 2002 sank as a result of the impact of the striking. Later, French authorities ordered the MV Tricolor to be removed. Due to the structural weakness of the wreck, and the enormous weight of the sections, the accurate positioning of all tools and vessels is of utmost importance, which required an accurate survey of the position of the wreck. To obtain the highest possible positioning accuracy during the project, use was made of the Long Range Kinematic GPS station Oost-Duinkerke, located just south of the historic town of Nieuwpoort was used as reference station.
