Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck survey details for a vessel located in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya at coordinates 33 2.623 N, 13 1.197 E. This submerged obstruction, historically identified as a non-dangerous wreck, has been surveyed multiple times, most recently confirming an intact, upright vessel structure. The wreck measures 108 meters in length, 16 meters in width, and has a height of 20.9 meters. Multibeam echosounder surveys identify a least depth of 66.7 meters within a general seabed depth of 88 meters. The hull lies oriented on a 000/180 degree axis with the bow facing south. The vessel remains in an upright position on the seafloor with the hull contour matching the surrounding seabed. These hydrographic survey records, including coordinates and structural dimensions, are maintained for maritime navigation and safety.
