Baleària is removing all fuel and pollutants from the ship Pinewood of the river, stranded in the port of Dénia last Friday, through tankers on land. The withdrawal of diesel and oils is expected to end this evening.
At this time, the risk of contaminating spills is minimal, although the anti-pollution barrier that Salvamento Marítimo deployed on Saturday early in the afternoon is maintained preventively. These works are the previous preparations to start the ship's refloating plan to be taken to port.
Regarding the aforementioned refloating plan, the shipping company is studying the proposals of two specialized companies of Dutch nationality, and hopes to decide in the next few hours the best option to carry out this complicated task, which will also allow the cars of the remaining passengers to disembark on board.
Passenger service
It should be remembered that since Sunday afternoon, Baleària has scheduled the ferry Bahama Mama to the Dénia-Ibiza-Palma route to cover the services of the fast ferry Pinar del Río, which ran aground Friday night at the jetty of the port of Dénia, without personal damage for any passenger or crew member, who were evacuated unharmed with different boats . The shipping company has enabled an attention email for passengers traveling the affected route (Atencion_Clientes_16082019@balearia.com).
