S KOREA TRAGIC FERRY SINKING OF THE SEWOL KILLING 304 MOSTLY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ON A SPRING TRIP IN 2014 WAS RAISED BACK FROM THE DEPTHS THIS WEEK BY A CHINESE SALVAGE OPERATION SHANGHAI SALVAGE

 The sunken ferry Sewol arrived near a semisubmersible ship that will be used to transport it to the port of Mokpo on South Korea's southwestern coast, the government said Friday.
"The Sewol was some 200 meters away from the semisubmersible ship as of 8:30 p.m.," said the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
It said salvage operators will now move to precisely place the 145-meter-long, 6,825-ton vessel onto the semisubmersible ship which has been waiting in a mild tidal area some 3 kilometers southeast of where the ship sank. The area where the Sewol capsized in April 2014 is known for strong tidal currents.
The ministry said it will make all-out efforts to finish the complicated process of placing the ferry on the transport ship before midnight when the neap tide period ends. The next neap tide is not until April 5.
Next, the hull will be tightly fixed to the semisubmersible ship over the next two or three days, and will then be transferred to Mokpo, some 87 kilometers to the east. This process is less affected by the weather, the government added.
