The Correio da Manha which is usually well informed- they also reported that removing the dredger gave some problems including parting the tow and having to be parked outside due to the rapid run of the ebb which was no surprise to anyone who has entered against the ebb.

Whatever that might mean.

The same source reports that the little dredger is in the commercial dock. They are trying to find out why it nose-dived. The big one broke into 3 pieces, none of which has yet been removed.
