Franz Hals – Biarritz
A factory trawler (length: 108 m, displacement: 3,100 MT) ran aground on Le Palais beach in Biarritz. The operation lasted 25 days and required repairing holes in the trawler’s double bottom, inflating the ballast using compressed air, removing the masting and clearing fuel tanks, before it could be refloated, requiring total pulling power of 380 tonnes (Abeille Flandre, Abeille Supporter, Abeille Picardie).
