FAQ
Questions owners ask before a recovery call
What is marine salvage?
Marine salvage is the recovery or protection of a vessel after sinking, grounding, storm displacement, collision, or another casualty event.
Is salvage different from regular towing?
Yes. Towing usually moves a floating disabled vessel. Salvage can involve flooding, grounding, damage risk, environmental exposure, or unusual rigging.
Do I need permission before salvage starts?
The owner, insurer, marina, property owner, or agency involvement can matter depending on location and condition. We help identify the practical next steps before work begins.
Need recovery now?
