Rome: Italian authorities said Wednesday they would begin this weekend to raise the superyacht that sank off Sicily last year, killing British tech mogul Mike Lynch and six others.
The first recovery equipment was set to arrive on May 3, the coastguard said in a statement, with the whole operation expected to last 20 to 25 days.
The luxury 56-metre (185-foot) "Bayesian" yacht was struck by a pre-dawn storm on August 19 as it was anchored off Porticello, near Palermo.
It sank within minutes, killing Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, and five others.
The project will be carried out by specialised contractors and use a "special floating crane" designed to lift heavy loads, the coastguard said.
