What we do

Salvage and Recovery Diving Services

Marine recovery and salvage refer to the procedure of retrieving a ship, its cargo, or any other assets that have sustained damage or gone missing at sea. This process entails finding and extracting debris from the water, followed by an evaluation of the vessel or property’s condition before bringing it ashore.

Conducting salvage operations demands specialized equipment, extensive expertise, and a profound comprehension of maritime laws and regulations. The objective of marine salvage is to preserve lives, safeguard the environment, and reduce financial losses resulting from maritime accidents.

OUR SERVICES

Our comprehensive salvage and recovery services provide a solution to a wide range of needs.

Search and retrieval services involve the utilization of side scanners, multibeam sonars, and grappling hooks to pinpoint the location of missing vessels. We employ cranes and underwater rigging, utilising lift bags and other buoyancy control devices, to elevate wrecks to the surface, along with crane-based salvage operations.
