In this episode of What's Going on with Shipping, we track the unconventional recovery of SpaceX’s Starship 40 (S40) following its splashdown in the Indian Ocean. While the spacecraft survived its landing, retrieving it from one of the most remote spots on the planet presented unique maritime challenges. We analyze the towing methods, the vessels involved, and the strategic decision to pull the "star boat" to Christmas Island for potential next steps in the salvage operation. Key Highlights 🚀The Transition to "Star Boat": How Starship 40 successfully splashed down and remained buoyant on July 24th, it shifted from being a space flight challenge to a maritime salvage operation. 🚀A Remote Recovery: The splashdown occurred roughly 800 miles off the coast of Australia in a desolate part of the Indian Ocean, requiring specialized vessels to reach the site. 🚀Wind and Current: Because the Starship is incredibly light for its size, it sits high on the water, making it highly susceptible to being pushed off course by wind. 🚀Initial Method: Recovery teams initially used a "lasso" method, encircling the rocket with Yokohama fenders to create a protective net for towing. 🚀The Riskier Pivot: After encountering rough weather, the crew eventually switched to a more direct but riskier tow, attaching a line to one of the rocket's engine nozzles to pull it into port. 🚀Future Recovery Options: What are three potential ways to get Starship 40 home from Christmas Island Contact What's Going on With Shipping via: Patreon: www.patreon.com/wgowshipping Twitter: @mercoglianos Bluesky: @mercoglianos.bsky.social Facebook: @wgowshipping Email: [email protected] Marine Traffic www.marinetraffic.com Photo Credits https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2089685256085344560 https://x.com/Dean08468895 https://x.com/booster_10 https://www.instagram.com/chrisbrayphotography/ 0:00 - Introduction: Starship 40 arrives at Christmas Island 0:36 - From Starship to "Star Boat": A maritime perspective 1:35 - Tracking the recovery vessels in the Indian Ocean 2:22 - The recovery plan: Ad hoc or prepared? 3:04 - The challenges of towing: Wind and currents 4:25 - Lassoing the Starship: Using Yokohama fenders 5:46 - Changing course for Christmas Island 6:47 - Weather complications and loose in the swells 7:42 - Addressing the difficulties of open ocean recovery 8:19 - Final approach and rigging a tow line to the Raptor motor 9:44 - Arrival at Christmas Island and visible damage 11:03 - Island infrastructure and next steps for salvage 11:35 - Three potential courses of action for transport 13:25 - Alternative option: On-site disassembly 13:51 - Conclusion and final thoughts on the salvage story
