Plans to salvage Bayesian underway

Following the August 2024 tragedy that killed seven people, plans to salvage the 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian are underway with several recovery proposals submitted to the prosecutor’s office in Termini Imerese, Sicily.

A syndicate of insurers led by British Marine – which insures the yacht owned by the Lynch family – presented eight possible plans. According to local news outlets, this included turning the vessel onto its keel and resurfacing it using cranes or “innovative buoyancy systems”. The salvage poses significant logistical challenges for the parties involved, as the integrity of the yacht’s structure is crucial to the ongoing investigation led by prosecutor Raffaele Cammarano.

The Italian Coast Guard will also have to approve the salvage proposal. There are tentative plans to begin the recovery operations in January 2025, with Bayesian likely be transported to Palermo for forensic examination once resurfaced. – Full report
