    I just heard two of the missing were found alive on Koh Tan, one of the nearby five islands.

    Latest sad update from Facebook; the bodies of the captain and the girl operating the onboard shop have been found near a small island. 

  • Yeah, it’s probably in a better condition now than before it went down.

Shutting down Raja ferries would be a good start ????

Or make them buy new boats, and enforce safety rules and regs.

Raja Ferry Lpc plans to raise the sunken Raja 4 ferry. The most important is the garbage, of which most are still inside the rubber-cover and on the 10-wheeler trucks, but also preventing oil leak is important.

 

Here are some images illustrating the plan...

The lift up of Raja 4 began today by two cranes of 200 ton and 600 ton, but only after the garbage was covered, so it could not fall out...

Thank you for the update KhunPer. I wondered how things were going. (I refuse to use Fakebook!)

A bit of a storm forecast for Monday night. Hopefully they will finish before then.

Get it the right way up and should soon be in service again.

Last night, I was told that the Raja ferry has been recovered.

Can anyone out there confirm this?

Any details please?

The Raja-4 ferry is now partly floating and will be moved a shallow spot around "Island 4" and pumped to normal floating level, and thereafter dragged to Don Sak.
