- Abstract
In this paper, we deal with the subject of shipwreck removal and the methods that are employed during removal operations. We use a case study to illustrate the stages of these operations as well as the parameters that affect the process. Furthermore, we outline a number of different scenarios of the most common techniques in order to demonstrate which one is the better fit for the particular case. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the difficulties that arise in shipwreck removal operations and offer a structured methodology for the planning stage of such a process.
