Ships may capsize and sink in water that is deeper than the beam of the ship. The sunken ship becomes an underwater obstruction and hazard to maritime traffic. Water depth around and over the ship at high water determines the extent and seriousness of the hazard and the urgency of removal. Refloating the ship upside down is sometimes suitable in such cases.... The refloated ship is to be scuttled in deep water, scrapped in a drydock, or taken to a location that can accept the upsidedown ship. Ships are refloated upside down by restoring their buoyancy with compressed air. 1, record 1, English, - refloated%20ship

[This ship] can also be used for Lash, barges instead of containers. When the dock is submerged the barges are steered into the well and then the container dock can be refloated, thus emptying the water so that the barges rest in the dry well hold. 1, record 2, English, - container%20dock
