The diving ban has been lifted to day, januar 30. 2007
On a sunny day in May 2003 the two ships: Fu Shan Hai and Gdynia collided just 3 nautical miles of the Danish island Bornholm. Only 8 hours later Fu Shan Hai vanished from the calm waters of the Baltic, only to end at 69 meters of water at the bottom of the ocean.
The wreck was secured from oil leeks, but despite the good visibility around Bornholm the wreck was banned for diving. Much to the regret for all the Danish, Swedish and German divers who now had the biggest wreck in Northern European waters on their doorstep.
From July 29. to August 5. 2006 a group of Technical Divers have been given permission to dive the wreck and document the condition. If the project is a success the Danish Authorities will consider removing the ban.
The project is completed
We have completed 68 dives on the wreck. This is a bit lees than expected but we had some windy weather for four days.

After the collision the master realised that the ship was in danger of sinking and he transmitted a MAYDAY distress signal. At approx. 1330 hours, the crew had abandoned the ship in two life boats wherefrom they were picked up by ships that had arrived after the collision and they were sailed to Bornholm. The master, the chief officer and an engineer were transferred to a vessel where they could assist at the subsequent work.
At 2049 hours the same evening Fu Shan Hai sank. The Chinese Bulk Carrier Fa Shan Hai now rest at 68 meters dept just 3 NM from the danish island Bornholm.
Fu Shan Hai is going down Fu Shan Hai sank with a harmless cargo of fertliser. However the ships own 1680 tons of oil (heavy fuel oil) created a hazard for the environment/sea. In the months following the sinking, around 1460 tons of oil was removed.
After the clean up operation was completed the Danish Maritime Autority banned diving on the wreck.

Vi sejlede fra Polen over Bornholm til Blekinge skærgård 1 - 2 uger efter forliset. I Hammerhavn var der 2 redningsbåde fra Fu Shan Hai fortøjet ved kajen. Da vi sejlede fra Hammerhavn mod Hanø mødte vi Mette Miljø, der lå vagt over vraget, for at holde øje med olieudslip. Ca. 10 sømil længere mod nord passerede vi et område med tykke olieklumper, der svinede båden og gav os en del rengøring. Da vi prajede Mette Miljø herom over vhf´en, fik vi at vide, at det stammede fra Fu Shan Hai. vh Ole Thomsen
Translation: We passed Bornholm on our trip from Poland to Blekinge skærgård (Sweden) 1- 2 weeks after the accident. In Hammerhavn we anchored next to the two recue boats. When we sailed from Hammerhavn towards Hanø we met Mette Miljø, who was looking for oil spills. Aprox. 10 nautical miles further north, we passed an area with thick oil lumps, that messed up the boat, and gave us a lot of cleaning. When we called "Mette Miljø" about it over the VHF, they told us it came from "Fu Shan Hai".
