Every vessel has the equipment to deal with all possible incidents including fire-fighting, the re-floating of grounded or sunken ships, wreck removal and the cleaning of spilt pollutants. Team members provide a wide range of specialist disciplines including naval architecture, heavy lift engineering, handling of hazardous chemicals, marine pollution prevention and diving.
Recent successes
Success in saving lives and minimising pollution very often means making the right decision at the right moment. The policy of multidisciplinary teams combined with instant readiness has been key to all our successful salvage operations including:
- Recovering the nuclear cargo from the sunken “Mont Louis”.
- Dealing with the fires on the “British Trent” and the “Olympic Dream”.
- Saving 75% of the lives of passengers on the “Herald of Free Enterprise”.
- Saving 90% of the crew of the “Tricolor”.
- The successful salvage operations on the “Pelican” and the “Fowairet”.
