In the just published September/October issue of The Maritime Executive, reporter Patrick Zeitler writes on Specialization of Skills in the marine salvage industry. “From the Francis Scott Key Bridge allision in Baltimore to Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, it’s been a busy year for the industry. With the volume of shipboard fires and spill response both increasing, salvors that understand advanced shipboard firefighting, marine spill management and marine salvage require unique training and expertise,” Zeitler writes. The article calls out US COAST GUARD's work on a revitalized Area Contingency Plan that will bolster capacity for marine firefighting and salvage across all USCG COPT zones and the work of its SMFF task force to better prepare ports in the event of a maritime emergency. Our own CEO Joseph Farrell talks about specialized skills required and how Resolve Marine aims to “optimize training, mentoring and advancement opportunities for all employees.” Other salvors and marine specialty firms are also featured. https://ow.ly/zR8G50TUPZr #Salvage #MarineSalvage #SMFF

Resolve Marine’s talented crews in Dutch Harbor, Alaska wear many hats. Here, the team gives an assist to a US COAST GUARD Cutter and a US Navy vessel making stops at the port. Boom and bunkering for waste removal take place all in a day’s work. Well done team! #DutchHarbor #Shipyard #drydock

Recent media coverage about Resolve Marine.

The Port of Dutch Harbor in Unalaska, AK is the #1 commercial fishing port in the United States based on volume of catch. Among other work, Resolve Marine’s shipyard and drydock services dozens of commercial fishing fleets and vessels seeking repair and maintenance with work requests in June, September and October at their peak. Here, a fishing vessel was loaded for a drydock during a sale with a buyer who wanted to know the exact condition of the ship in order to direct repairs and upgrades. Over the course of five days, our team coordinated the transfer of the vessel from Carl E. Moses Boat Harbor to our facility by a third-party tug and our own Makushin Bay. Once in the drydock, teams cleaned the vessel from the waterline down so that UT measurements could be conducted by a third party. Once primed and painted, we then completed a drydock inspection and returned the vessel back to CEM’s dock. Congratulation to Eric Freemen, Shipyard Superintendent for overseeing a job well done by his crew of 15 hardworking men and women. #DutchHarbor #Shipyard #drydock

From Resolve Marine’s shipyard and drydock facility in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Facility Manager Adam Buffington knows the importance of teamwork. He is also a fan of mentoring and leading by example. Each month he gathers the crew to share his appreciation for the team and takes a moment to reinforce the values of our company. This month, Adam called out Nathen Spencer for his contributions to team safety and gave a gift card in acknowledgement of his efforts. In one of the most remote areas of the United States, Dutch Harbor weathers 63 inches in average rainfall and 88 inches of snow. It’s a welcome break from the elements to enjoy a warm lunch and camaraderie. #DutchHarbor #Shipyard #drydock
