Emerlan managed to recover this Monday a boat that had sunk in the La Tiñosa dock. On board the Canary Islands Government ship, ECO SIERRA 11, they managed to refloat the boat after several hours of work.

With the help of a crane and motor pumps to pump out the water, the volunteers recovered the boat. In total, the works lasted four hours and there were no spills or incidents of any kind.

The operation was carried out by Emerlan volunteers in coordination with Puertos Canarios and the Emergency Coordination Center (CECOES).
