On Saturday October 14, 2006 the former Smit Transport salvage ship JACOMINA had returned to the sunken George's Landing Stage. Engineers from Mammoet could be seen on dock and a diver entered the water. Air hoses lead under the water to where the sunken northern end of the stage lies.

Smit Transport sold the JACOMINA to Bufalorent S.L. of Cartagena, Spain in 2005 according to a report in the Maritime Clippings Electronic Newsletter she was expected to operate on marine construction projects, fish farms and salvage contracts in the Mediteranean, Portugal and Canary Islands. She has obviously wandered quite a way from her intended area of operation!
