Salvage operations of the floating restaurant, Ark Deck Bar, which capsized off the coast near Bandra on May 25, will be impacted owing to the rough sea and high sea currents. Adding to the complications is the recent alert by the Regional Meteorological Centre that has issued warnings of intense rainfall over the coast starting June 7.

The furniture, fixtures and electronic items on the vessels are already damaged due to the prolonged time in saline water. Shipping experts had cautioned that the salvage should be completed before the onset of monsoon, and that the situation might worsen once the monsoon begins. Mehernosh Shroff, of Seaworthy Shipping Services, who had spoken to representatives of Ark Deck earlier, said, "I do not understand the reason for delaying salvage operations of the vessel. The situation will only worsen in the coming days and I have seen for myself in Khandala, Gujarat, in 2001 how sunken/floating vessels got taken to great distances due to sea currents and high tides."
