Pictures obtained by the Maritime Executive shows that the salvage operation to recover the cargo of crude still on board the Caroline Bezengi, stranded on rocks off the southwest tip of Jazirat Al Qibliyyah, is well underway. 

Al Qibliyyah is the easternmost of the Hallaniyat Islands off the Omani coast of Dhofar. The operation appears to have commenced within the last few days, as recent satellite imagery of the wreck showed no other vessels in the vicinity.

Pictures show that the high winds and rough seas common during the Khareef period in this area off the southern coast of Oman have now abated, allowing the salvage operation to proceed.
