They clear it because of big boxer and other deep drafters having problems to reach Antwerp and they a are a danger to navigation, Not because suddenly they discovered the goodness of recycling !!! Pure selfinterest,,nothing else. Those wrecks would be there forever if not needed to be moved out of the way for commercial reasons!!!
