A yacht sailing under a Russian flag, berthed in the Motril marina will soon set off for the Black Sea following instructions from the Central Government.
The salvaging operation to refloat the stricken yacht on Playa de Carchuna a week or so ago, which ended with it being towed to Motril Port, was not cheap.
It took eight hours to refloat the yacht on Playa de Carchuna and many hours of previous preparation but finally it was ready to be towed to Motril Port.
The Maritime Authorities through Salvamento Marítimo (Sea-Rescue Service) have ordered the removal of fuel from the beached motoryacht on Playa de Carchuna.
The yacht suffered a problem in the engine room during the morning leaving the craft at the mercy of wind and currents, so they called for help at 13.30h.
