Divers tow sunken dhow to beach for repair in Kuwait
Divers of the Environmental Voluntary Foundation (EVF)
Kuwait - KUNA
Divers of the Environmental Voluntary Foundation (EVF) have lifted a sunken dhow used for cattle transportation, said Walid Al-Shatti, chief of the team, on Sunday.
Al-Shatti told KUNA a crane and a trailer were used for lifting the 60-ton wooden ship at Al-Doha port. The divers labored for three days to make the ship float, before being towed to Al-Ushairej beach where it would be repaired.
Necessary precautions were taken to avert any serious contamination of the sea environment, Al-Shatti said, noting that some sheep on board of the huge vessel had perished when it sank.
He gave no further details as when and how the large ship had sunk.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
