How will they get it upright? Cranes? Air bags?

I'd settle for a tin of their antifoul.

In the article they refer to the ship as a wreck, but it is obviously still afloat even if it is in sub optimal operating condition, so at what point do you declare it a wreck?

Everything currently below water will need fixing up, anything electric will be fried, engines might be flooded/waterdamaged etc..

perhaps "wreck" just means a total loss, not worth fixing up, scrap the thing for the steel and move on?

But didnt the article say the hold hatches were bobbing around in the Channel? In which case presumably the steel is on the sea floor!
