PANJIM: The casino vessel Lucky 7 may rest on sand bar till October 4 as there is no high tide before that, sources have said that salvage operation will commence only during high tide.
Last six days after it was grounded on the sand bank 300 mtrs away from Miramar beach, the salvors had attempted to tow M V Lucky 7 on several occasions.
Sources informed that the salvage operation may hamper as the vessel that rested on the sand bar on September 18, is once again filled with sand and water.
The hole beneath the vessel is not completely repaired because it was grounded on the sand bar near the Miramar beach. It was towed about 300 mtrs away from the beach on September 18 but it once again hit the sand bar due to low tide. During this period, the sand and water entered the vessel, the source said.
The technicians of the M/s AMS Marine LLC have been put on the job to pump the foreign objects out of the vessel with the salvors expecting to resume the towing operation on Friday morning.
High Court will further hear the matter on September 27 where company and the State has to submit the report over the development.
