APE Holland equipment for removing Russian "Murmansk" cruiser
On the 24th of December 1994, a Russian cruiser sank outside of a small village on the north coast of Norway, while broke free when being towed.
In short, the AF strategy consists of the dry dock demolition and removal of the wreck where it lies. This will be done by establishing breakwaters and constructing a dry dock around the “Murmansk” wreck. The water will then be pumped out of the dry dock so the wreck will be dry. Then construction machinery will then break down the cruiser, and sort different demolition materials to be shipped out to waste and recycling facilities.
APE Holland supplied an APE Model 200 vibratory hammer, to drive down the sheet piles around the wreck.

This is a live web cam site with time-lapse pictures. A documentary is being made by the residence of the village and the demolition company.
