The Oriental Star ship carries 456 1/6 people overturned in the middle of the Changjiang River, Guilin District, Hubei Province, China.After capsizing, the ship continued to drift 3 km on the river.At the time of the rescue preparations to turn over the ship, the bottom of the ship floated to the surface of the water more than a meter.

The rescue team must mobilize two ships to salvage the load of 500 tons, two cranes with a load of over 250 tons to flip the ship weighing 2,000 tons.In order to flip the ship up, it is necessary to attach a cable to the top of the ship which is submerged under water.
