Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between salvage/recovery and wreck/derelict services?
Salvage/Recovery Services involve the rescue and restoration of vessels that are in distress but can potentially be returned to service. These operations focus on stabilizing and recovering the vessel with the aim of preserving its value and functionality.
Wreck/Derelict Services are concerned with the removal of vessels that are no longer seaworthy or have been abandoned. These vessels are typically beyond repair and must be safely removed and disposed of to prevent hazards and environmental damage.
What is yacht salvage?
Yacht salvage involves the recovery of a vessel that is in distress, has sunk, or is otherwise incapacitated. The process includes stabilizing, refloating, and transporting the yacht to a safe location for repair or disposal.
How do I know if I need salvage services?
Salvage is necessary when a yacht is stranded, partially or fully submerged, or in a precarious position where further damage or environmental hazards are imminent. It is also required in cases of severe grounding, collision, or fire.
If your yacht is unable to be moved by its own power due to damage or danger, or if it poses a risk to the environment, salvage services are needed. It's best to contact a professional salvage company for an assessment.
How do you determine the cost of a salvage operation?
The cost of a salvage operation is determined by several factors, including the complexity of the recovery, the resources required, and the location of the vessel. We provide a transparent and detailed quote after the initial assessment, ensuring there are no surprises.
Will my insurance cover salvage costs?
Many yacht insurance policies include coverage for salvage operations. It's important to review your policy and contact your insurance provider to understand the extent of your coverage and any applicable conditions.
What does the salvage process involve?
The salvage process typically involves:
Assessment of the situation and planning.
Stabilizing the vessel to prevent further damage.
Refloating or lifting the yacht using specialized equipment.
Transporting the yacht to a safe location for repair or disposal.
How long does a salvage operation take?
The duration of a salvage operation depends on various factors such as the condition of the yacht, the severity of the situation, weather conditions, and the complexity of the operation. It can range from a few hours to several days.
What happens to my yacht after it is salvaged?
After salvage, the yacht is transported to a safe location for a thorough inspection and assessment. Based on the condition, it may undergo repairs, be sold, or in severe cases, be dismantled.
What measures do you take to protect the environment during salvage operations?
We prioritize environmental protection in all our operations. Our team is trained in spill containment and cleanup procedures, and we use environmentally friendly methods to minimize the impact of our activities on marine ecosystems.
