A ferry that capsized and sank off the coast of South Korea three years ago, killing hundreds of schoolchildren, has finally been raised from the sea floor.

More than 300 people - most of them children on a school trip - died after the Sewol ferry overturned and sank on April 16, 2014.

A catalogue of errors contributed to the disaster, including the ship being overloaded and the crew being too inexperienced.

Even though the vessel took around three hours to sink, those on board were never ordered to evacuate while the crew escaped to safety.

The 6,800-ton ferry was finally heaved to the surface of the water on Thursday as dozens of still-grieving families watched from a nearby barge.

A total of 304 people died in the horror sinking but nine bodies are yet to be recovered. It is hoped that the final victims will finally be found as the ship is salvaged. The ship is pictured as it is lifted out of the ocean

A total of 304 people died in the horror sinking.

After hours of tests and preparations, workers on two barges began the salvaging operation on Wednesday night, rolling up 66 cables connected to a frame of metal beams divers spent months putting beneath the ferry, which had been lying on its left side in about 40 metres of water.

By Thursday morning, the right side of Sewol rose above the surface - allowing workers to climb on it and further fasten the ferry to the barges, according to the South Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

Salvage crews will load the ferry onto a semi-submersible, heavy-lift vessel that will carry it to a mainland port.

The loading process, including emptying the ferry of water and fuel, is expected to take days.

The bodies of 295 passengers were recovered after the sinking, but nine are still missing.

And it takes a CHINESE Salvage Specialist Contractor to do the work for the Koreans. Sign on their semi-submersible says ?????

I think the Koreans wasted the time to try to do themselves without success and finally paid the Chinese to do it.

The picture show the pair of semi-submersible with very ingenious cable systems and pulleys, that will ensure the most fragile wreckage to be recovered with least further damages in the process. The platform can be submerged deep in water and cables shift evenly with equal forces well distributed on surface of wreckage and transfer on to the platform and raise up to surface.

Koreans knew that the ousted president stopped the salvation during their regime.
See, the moment she is ousted, the ship can resurface immediately.

All they need to do is to pay Ah Tiongs mah, regardless which president, you give RMB$ the wreckage will float up like magic. KNN, Korea so near to Ah Tiong one day they can sail over already. More convenient than 7-eleven.

Chinese raised the Korean Titanic, propeller is out of the water already.

From my own experience of sailing boat, I can see from the photos now that this ferry is by design too unstable and unsafe, it has too little structure and weight under the waterline (blue color portion of hull), and TOO MUCH TOO HUGE TOO HIGH on the top (white painted portion 4 floors! ). The proportion between the blue and white part as so unreasonable. The under waterline portion is a narrow slim tiny structure, the white structure above water line is so huge so tall and over-sized. In any strong wind strong current rough sea conditions, it is going to flip to the side like it did. I will not get myself on sail on any ship made like that, unless I had no idea.

This design is too greedy and naive.

..if it is in sinkie land..probably take 3x more years to do it...becoz no revenue...imo

Now the wreckage is being towed to a safer part of sea 3km from where it was lifted up.

据韩联社报道，韩国海洋水产部3月24日称，截至当地时间当天上午11时10分，“世越号”沉船已被打捞至靠岸所需高度，即露出水面的船体高度达到13米，捞起工作告一段落。

Above URL is the illustration of very advanced Chinese Salvage Technology used for the 1st time in the world.

Fucking Koreans failed their rescue salvage too badly, majority of passengers not rescued, their rescue helicopter crashed with 5 more killed. In the end Chinese salvaged the wreckage for them, and they still side with USA to punk with China in the THAAD missile saga. Useless Kim Chi bastards!

Now the wreckage is being shipped to scrap shipyard to be chopped up as Karanguni Steel.

韩国“世越”号整体出水

（国际·图文互动）（1）韩国“世越”号整体出水

　　这是韩国全罗南道珍岛郡附近海域“世越”号沉船打捞现场（3月23日摄）。 3月25日下午，韩国全罗南道珍岛郡附近海域“世越”号沉船打捞现场传出消息：“世越”号船体成功整体起浮出水。这意味着“世越”号打捞工作基本宣告成功。新华社发

当地时间31日13时许，被打捞出水的“世越”号完成最后一次“航行”，缓缓驶入韩国全罗南道木浦新港。三年前这艘没能成功抵岸的客轮终于在1081天后重回此岸。




据韩国海洋水产部介绍，半潜船抵港后，“世越”号船体被搬上岸仍需要几天时间，初步预计下月6日将船体转移到陆地上。




“搜寻失踪者是目前当务之急。”“世越”号船体调查委员会委员长表示，待船体完全上岸，在进行安全调查及防疫等工作后，就将开展失踪者和遇难者遗体、遗物搜寻工作。




记者发现，在外围的铁丝网上挂满了写有“平安”等字样祈福的黄丝带。




大部分到现场悼念的民众为表尊重，都普遍身着黑色或暗色服装，他们中有学生团体，有教师团体，更有从全国各地自发来悼念的普通市民。




在人群中，有一些人身着黄色外套，步履蹒跚，神情黯然。走出港口大门时，有人双眼通红，用手遮住面庞；有人情绪激动，一路放声大哭。




他们是失踪人员的家属。在三年前的这场事故中，遇难者多为学生，至今仍有9人下落不明。




世越”号的打捞工作此前一直牵动人心。由于客轮吨位重、事故发生水域深等多方面因素，打捞工作存在极大难度。





克服困难连续作战596天、投入作业船舶3000余艘次、施工作业人员2170人次……上海打捞局此次给予的全力支持得到了多方肯定。




在当日“世越”号靠岸后韩国海洋水产部举行的发布会上，相关负责人在回答有关对打捞评价的提问时就表示，“从多年经验来看，上海打捞局的工作按既定计划顺利推进，结果非常成功，令人满意。”




“世越”号的沉船悲剧，不仅是韩国民众心头的一块巨大阴影，同时也成为朴槿惠执政经历上的一个转折点，至今仍有不少未解谜团。如今，“世越”号重归此岸，也许，这可以让更多的韩国民众放下心中悲痛。
