In the search for the missing submersible near the “Titanic” wreck in the Atlantic, the US Navy sends a device to salvage the vehicle. As a spokeswoman for the German Press Agency said, the deep-sea recovery system with the abbreviation “Fadoss” should arrive in the Canadian city of St. Johns in Newfoundland on Wednesday night (local time). It was initially unclear when it might reach the search area hundreds of kilometers further south.
The US Navy describes “Fadoss” as a “portable ship-lift system that provides reliable deep-sea lifting capacity of up to 27 tons for the recovery of large, bulky, and severely sunken objects such as airplanes or small ships.” The device’s winch and cable come in different sizes depending on the type and weight of the object to be lifted. “Fadoss” might only be used once the submersible had been found. So far, however, there is no trace of the “Titan”.
