On December 11, 2023, at approximately 6 a.m., the weather conditions improved sufficiently to commence the tow of the 'Ocean Victory' from Zaandvoort's coastline. The Danish salvage company Svitzer employed two tugs, 'Triton' and 'Hercules', to assist in pulling the vessel from the bow. Meanwhile, three additional tugs—'Svitzer Muiden', 'Simson', and 'Ievoli Black', which recently had its propeller issues resolved at Ijmuiden—worked at the stern to guide the ship on its journey. The 'Ocean Victory' made steady progress at a speed of three knots, with an estimated arrival time at the port of Ijmuiden projected between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. For more detailed insights and visuals from Dutch media, please refer to these links: [NRC](http://m.nrc.nl/nieuws/2012/12/11/ocean-victory-het-op-drift-geraakte-schip-bij-zandvoort-is-weggesleept/), [Volkskrant](http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/2686/Binnenland/article/detail/3361554/2012/12/11/Berging-Ocean-Victory-begonnen.dhtml), [RTL Nieuws](http://www.rtl.nl/components/actueel/rtlnieuws/2012/12_december/11/binnenland/ocean-victory-naar-ijmuiden-gesleept.xml), and [Zvoort](http://www.zvoort.nl/archief/vrachtschip-zet-stuurloos-koers-richting-zandvoort/).

The salvage operations for the distressed vessel 'Ocean Victory' have been rescheduled due to adverse weather conditions. The ship, currently out of commission, will now be towed to Ijmuiden on December 11. A fleet of four tugboats is on standby to commence the operation at 8 a.m., as meteorological forecasts indicate a decrease in wind speed from force 6 to force 3 Beaufort.
