Odyssey Marine Exploration
OMEX, pioneers in the field of deep-ocean exploration, today
announced that the chartered vessel working on the SS Gairsoppa project, the
Seabed Worker, will make a scheduled port call in Cork, Ireland, beginning
September 12, 2012. After taking on fuel, supplies and changing personnel, the
Seabed Worker will immediately return to the site to continue recovery
operations under an extension of the charter agreement.
No materials recovered from the shipwreck site will be landed during this port
call in Ireland. Pursuant to Odyssey's agreement with the UK Government, the
company will not comment on the status of operations or recovery of cargo
until any additional silver recovered has been transported to the secure
facility in the United Kingdom.
"As with our port call in August, making our regularly scheduled crew change
in Ireland instead of the UK allows us to spend an additional two, or more,
working days on the site. As the weather conditions tend to become less
friendly in the North Atlantic as we get closer to October, every additional
day of operations is important," said Mark Gordon, Odyssey President and COO.
"The processing of the silver delivered in July remains on schedule with the
first portion available for sale in September. We expect all processing of the
silver recovered to date to be completed during the fourth quarter. We're
delighted by the recent move in silver prices. If they hold or continue to
increase, it will significantly boost the value of this project."
