Resolve Marine - operational and corporate news

Resolve Marine concluded a challenging project that it says will “long be remembered for rejuvenating a fishing industry and restoring a valuable local community.”

San Carlos Island, Florida is home to the US Gulf of Mexico’s pink shrimping industry and was devasted when Hurricane Ian hit landfall as a Category 4 storm late September 2022.

Resolve assisted with the removal of more than 40 vessels displaced ashore using its RMG 400 crane barge. Access to the vessels needed work to clear debris pathways for personnel, rigging and roller bag access.

The operation required the removal of fuel and rotting shrimps and Resolve said “the team overcame numerous obstacles including fire safety, hazardous materials, working at heights and much more.”

Elsewhere, Resolve’s salvage tug, RESOLVE COMMANDER, has been in action off the east coast of Florida. On two occasions, she was dispatched from her salvage station in Freeport, Bahamas to assist two disabled container vessels which lost power close to Florida's coast.

In corporate news, Resolve Marine says it has demonstrated its commitment to invest with a newly-opened 10,000 square foot facility in Tacoma, Washington USA. The warehouse holds owned and maintained equipment ready to deploy by air, sea or land. The company said the expansion "strengthens its emergency response and salvage capabilities" in a region where it has recently conducted several high-profile operations.

The facility will also offer environmental remediation, commercial diving and marine construction services. Chad Kasin, appointed as Resolve’s Pacific Northwest Facilities Manager, has 30 years of commercial diving experience in the US Navy and the private sector.
