Common questions
What causes vessels or equipment to end up submerged?
Storms, mooring failures and accidents are common causes of vessels or equipment ending up on the seabed or shoreline, and ageing infrastructure can also break away and drift before settling in a new spot.
Why does water depth affect a salvage operation?
Deeper water often means we need divers or remote equipment instead of standard land based machinery, and current and visibility also change with depth, affecting how long each stage takes.
How is environmental damage limited during a salvage operation?
We place containment measures such as booms around the site before recovery begins, reducing the spread of fuel, sediment or debris while we lift the asset clear.
