Looking for something different to do in the maritime industry? Here's a niche that most training institutions don't have programs for. Read Joe Farrell III's article on, "Training Salvors: ASA's Work in Preparing the Next Generation". He gives excellent insight into this exciting and challenging career.
Growing ship size, diversity of cargo, and alternative fuel systems are only a few contributors to the increasing complexity of the marine salvage industry. In “Training Salvors: ASA’s work in preparing the next generation” published in the July issue of Marine Technology (mt), a @SNAME publication, Joseph Farrell, CEO of Resolve Marine and president of the American Salvage Association (ASA) addresses the evolving art and science of marine salvage. Although the basic objectives of marine salvage remain the same: save lives, preserve the environment, and protect property, the list of required skills to meet these objectives is growing in size, diversity and complexity. Additionally, there is an urgent need for OPA 90 regulation to incorporate new technologies, new alternative fuels (e.g., LNG, LPG and methanol), and a wider array of cargos (e.g., electric vehicles and Li-ion batteries). To assist in this effort, the ASA advises government agencies on behalf of the salvage industry and provides training to USCG personnel. The ASA and its members also work to establish industry best practices for salvage and marine firefighting response throughout North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean.
