Moorings for the Rosalie Moller

With the conservation work on the SS Thistlegorm successfully completed, attention has now turned to the wreck of the Rosalie Moller. Sadly, this beautiful and iconic Red Sea wreck has suffered considerable damage over the last few years. In the next month, HEPCA will be undertaking further assessment and an installation of a mooring system to protect the fragile wreck from further damage. Due to the depth of the wreck, technical divers will be carrying out the work and the HEPCA mooring team will be supported by divers from Red Sea Explorers, Blue O Two and Diving Attitude amongst others. Conventional moorings will not be possible due to the depth and conditions, so a system of wires and ropes attached to the structure of the wreck is planned. Full details of the installation will be provided soon so keep an eye out for further announcements. The conservation work is part of HEPCA’s Saving the Red Sea Wrecks Campaign. Our work on the Thistlegorm attracted massive media interest and support. You can read just some of the press articles and find more information in our Campaigns section.
