Choosing the least-worst grounding salvage option

What is the best way to deal with the grounded MSC Baltic III?

Removing bulk fuel and breaking up the ship in place is presented as a least-worst response to a difficult grounding.

Grounding salvage often means choosing among bad options. Removing the bulk fuel reduces pollution risk, while blowing up the vessel could do far more environmental damage. Breaking MSC Baltic III apart in place is an imperfect but practical course. The Canadian Coast Guard's detailed public updates explain both the work and the reasoning behind it.
