COMPANY PROFILE

• Salvage locations • Other SMIT locations

SMIT SALVAGE

SMIT’s name is synonymous with total commitment to

the challenging field of marine emergency response and

wreck removal where optimal care for the environment is

a priority. Our name is also one of the foremost connected

with wreck removal and port clearance operations. The

track record of SMIT Salvage in this field is without parallel.

As the world’s most experienced and leading marine salvor,

we maintain round-the-clock readiness for operations

anywhere in the world. Salvage is the first line of defence

against marine pollution when major casualties occur.

No company has made a greater contribution to the deve-

lopment of salvage capability and thus to the protection of

the environment than SMIT.

Marine emergency response at this level requires the

experience of dedicated salvage professionals, supported

by specialised vessels and equipment. Our full range of

engineering facilities and logistics support worldwide,

ensures that we can operate effectively even in the most

remote locations.

Rapidly changing demands and a new emphasis on the

care of the environment have encouraged SMIT to offer

special services in the area of environmental care. SMIT’s

in-house Innovation & Development (I & D) Department

developed - together with Frank Mohn of Norway -

POLREC I, which utilises the ROLS unit (Remote Offloading

System). This system is capable of offloading bunkers and

cargo (oil or chemicals) from wrecks at a depth of more

than one hundred metres.

Outstanding emergency response projects

’Twin Star’In very heavy fog 23701 DWT bulk carrier ‘Twin Star’, laden

with rolled steel coil, was involved in a collision with the

Cypriot vessel ‘Pintail’ off the port of Callao, Peru.

The M/V ‘Alice’ was also involved in the same collision but

sustained no damage. The ‘Twin Star’ on the other hand

sustained severe damage on her starboard side and, as a

consequence, began to sink slowly, until only her antenna

jutted out above the water. Some of her fuel oil tanks were

ruptured, causing a minor leakage of oil. SMIT Salvage was

contracted to remove the remaining bunker and fuel oil.

‘Selendang Ayu’ The Malaysian flagged 225 metres long cargo vessel suf-

fered a main engine breakdown, drifted without power,

grounded and eventually broke in two off the coast of

Western Unalaska Island.

SMIT mobilised a salvage team to inspect the casualty.

A complicated operation commenced to pump the oil

from the vessel’s various compartments into tank

containers which were placed on the deck of the vessel by

helicopters. Each container was filled with 2.5 tonnes of

recovered oil and then transported back to the shore by

the helicopters for further handling.

An extra complication was the extreme weather situa-

tion, but the operation was successfully completed and

approxi mately 1600 tonnes of intermediate fuel and diesel

oil were recovered.

‘Rocknes’The ‘Rocknes’ was on her way to Emden when she hit

an underwater rock and capsized within minutes. The

vessel remained afloat upside down. The plan to parbuckle

the vessel was very exceptional for a ship this size. Cables

were attached from the 9000 tonnes vessel to two pull

barges which had been specially equipped for this opera-

tion. Once the mission had been successfully completed,

the vessel was towed to a yard in Bergen. The bulk carrier

is now back in operation.

This tanker was involved in a collision with another tanker off Port Said, Egypt.

After a controlled explosion the ‘Jolly Rubino’ was ready to function as an artificial reef.

SMIT SALVAGE

Outstanding marine fire-fighting projects

‘Norasia Taurus’ The container vessel ’Norasia Taurus’ caught fire off the

port of Damietta, Egypt. The owners and underwriters

immediately contracted SMIT Salvage to fight the blaze

and save the ship and the cargo, which consisted of 1600

full containers.

After mobilising all the necessary salvage personnel and

fire-fighting equipment by chartered aircraft from both

the Netherlands and Egypt, fire-fighting operations imme-

diately commenced by using a local tug chartered from

SMIT’s Egyptian partners. After 5 days of round-the-clock

operations the salvage crew had brought the blaze under

control and had put out the fire. The whole operation was

carried out in full co-operation with both the Damietta

Port Authorities and the Egyptian Navy. After stabilising

and dewatering, the ’Norasia Taurus’ was towed to Cyprus.

After a final inspection the vessel was safely redelivered to

her German owners.

‘Jolly Rubino’This ro-ro vessel caught fire off the east coast of South

Africa and subsequently ran aground off Richards Bay,

South Africa in severe weather and sea conditions.

In addition to the highly challenging salvage operation the

grounding site turned out to be a protected UNESCO herit-

age area. After joint teams from The Netherlands and South

Africa had fought to contain the raging fires in abrocious

conditions, SMIT’s specialists started removing the danger-

ous cargo. Once the operation had been completed the

vessel was prepared for her next phase in life. After a

controlled explosion the ‘Jolly Rubino’ was ready to function

as an artificial reef.

LogisticsOur emergency response equipment is concentrated in

four strategic locations:

Houston (United States of America).

Rotterdam (The Netherlands).

Cape Town (South Africa).

Singapore (Singapore).

These four, first class warehouses total around 45,000

square meters and contain equipment such as diving

equipment, fire fighting equipment, pumps, fenders, anti-

pollution equipment, etc. that is needed for emergency

response. Inspection, repair and maintenance as well as

packing and forwarding are also carried out at named

locations.

In addition to the regional hubs above, we have offices in

London (UK), Piraeus (Greece) and Rio de Janeiro ( Brazil)

and a comprehensive network of partners and agents to

complement our worldwide network in support of our

operations.

Casualty towageSMIT Salvage is capable of providing worldwide casualty

towage services. This capability is based on the wide range

of tugs of various sizes and capacities which the SMIT

Group owns. Our global network of resources is reinforced

by SMIT’s other three divisions: SMIT Harbour Towage,

SMIT Terminals and SMIT Transport & Heavy Lift. The SMIT

Group has over 50 offices worldwide, employs more than

4,000 people and operates a fleet of over 424 vessels,

including AHTS vessels, salvage tugs, diving support crafts,

pull-barges, (semi-) submersible heavy transport barges

and floating sheerlegs of 1,000 to 2,200 tonnes lifting

capacity worldwide.

SUPSALVFor many years, SMIT has been contracted by the Supervisor

of Salvage (SUPSALV), of the U.S. Navy for the provision

of salvage, salvage related towing, harbour clearance and

ocean engineering services. The contract is based on the

provision of salvage equipment, craft and personnel.

The area of coverage of this agreement is from East Africa

to the International Dateline and from the North Pole to

the South Pole. Some examples of projects carried out for

SUPSALV are the ‘Ehime Maru’ off the coast of Hawaii and

the recovery of the ‘TWA-800’ airplane off the east coast of

the U.S.A.

Training and educationSMIT’s regular training programs on ‘Managing Marine

Emergencies’ make a significant contribution to the

important goal of sharing salvage expertise with ship

owners, managers, insurers and other parties from all

over the world.

During the course, the vital actions which should be taken

during the initial stages of an emergency are highlighted.

As a result, damage to the ship, the cargo and the environ-

ment is restricted to the minimum.

Wreck removal of the car carrier ‘Tricolor’ in the English Channel.

As a result of the hurricanes this platform was severely damaged.

SMIT SALVAGE

Outstanding wreck removal projects

Hurricane seasonsWith wind speeds of 280 kilometres an hour hurricanes

‘Dennis’, ‘Katrina’ and ‘Rita’ struck the U.S.A. Southern Coast

and caused havoc in the Gulf of Mexico. When the hurri-

canes moved along the U.S.A. Coast, their ravaging winds

left behind a trail of destruction on both land and water.

The expertise of SMIT Salvage was called upon to provide

assistance to remove damaged ships and platforms, such

as the ‘High Island II’, ‘High Island III’, ‘Hercules 25’, ‘Ocean

Warwick’, the ‘Adriatic VII’, ‘Pride Wyoming’ and ‘ENSCO 74’.

In many cases, wrecks must be removed if they pose a

threat to safe navigation or obstruct access to a port or

port facilities.

SMIT Salvage’s extensive experience includes many com-

plex and challenging wreck removal operations. They

include major projects requiring the mobilisation of exten-

sive resources, such as sheerlegs, pull barges, large pon-

toons and salvage/diving support vessels.

SMIT’s salvage teams can call upon the resources of the

entire SMIT Group to complete wreck removals as quickly

and as cost-effectively as possible.

WRECK REMOVAL

‘Vicuna’SMIT Salvage was awarded a contract to remove the total

loss declared 17465 DWT chemical tanker ‘Vicuna’. Two

strong explosions occurred onboard the ‘Vicuna’ in the

port of Paranagua, Brazil, while the ship was discharging

methanol at Cattalini pier. As a consequence, the vessel

sunk alongside the discharge jetty.

With assistance provided by the floating sheerlegs

‘Taklift 6’ SMIT Salvage started removing the ‘Vicuna’ by

lifting the superstructure of the vessel from the sea-floor.

According to plan the main engine and the further ship

sections were also removed. All the pieces were delivered

to a demolition site.

Wreck removal of the ‘Tasman Spirit’ in Pakistan. ´Hurricane season 2005́ caused havoc in the Gulf of Mexico.

SMIT SALVAGE

‘Tasman Spirit’This 90000 DWT Aframax tanker ran aground near the

entrance to Karachi port. She broke in two and caused an

enormous oil spill. SMIT Salvage was contracted to remove

the wreck. The wreck removal operation was extremely

challenging. The SMIT team not only encountered strong

currents, access difficulties and zero visibility, but also had

to deal with the fact that the vessel was embedded in a

trench some 6 metres deep. The wreck was removed from

the entrance, using tugs, sheerlegs and barges.

The operation was completed successfully in a time-frame

of about 3 months.

‘Kursk’SMIT Salvage took part in the successful recovery of the

Russian submarine ‘Kursk’. SMIT was responsible for all

maritime operations during this complex operation.

Salvage Masters, Divers and Engineers succeeded in

lifting the nuclear submarine under the SMIT semi-

submer sible barge ‘Giant 4’ and returning her safely to

the port of Murmansk.

An important part of the operation was the separation of

the damaged bow section. This was carried out by a SMIT-

designed cutting system using wire covered with

specially designed abrasive cylinders.

‘Ehime Maru’The Japanese vessel ‘Ehime Maru’ sank after a collision with

a submarine. A SMIT Salvage team succeeded in lifting the

fishing vessel from a depth of 600 meters.

This operation was completed solely with the use of ROV’s

(Remoted Operated Vehicles).

‘Tricolor’SMIT Salvage successfully completed the cutting operation

of the ‘Tricolor’ in the English Channel. The ‘Tricolor’, a

Norwegian car carrier, that sank at a depth of 30 metres as

a result of a collision, was cut into nine sections by means

of a very unique cutting system. SMIT also took part in the

removal of the 9 sections and the cargo.

SMIT’s experience in wreck removal is without parallel.

SMIT SALVAGE

SMIT’s salvage teams have rescued hundreds of valuable

ships and cargoes, preventing the spillage of millions of

tonnes of oils, chemicals and bunkers. We have the

expertise to deliver a full range of services including fire-

fighting, ship-to-ship/ship-to-shore cargo transfer, deep

water oil recovery, salvage and disposal of hazardous

cargoes, refloating, towage, wreck removal, marine and

salvage consultancy and contingency planning.

SMIT Salvage has been instrumental in developing new

solutions for the safe, pollution-free removal of cargo and

bunkers from wrecks.

Hot-tap technologyHot-tap technology guarantees a spill-free extraction of

any contained fluids either above or underwater.

As the hot-tap equipment is light in weight and easy to

transport, this technology is the best tool for arranging for

the immediate transfer of bunkers from vessels aground

or sunk.

POLREC I system POLREC I is capable of recovering oils, chemicals and

other pollutants from wrecks in very deep water.

The POLREC I system utilises the ROLS unit (Remote-

operated Offloading System), as a cost effective,

diverless solution for the recovery of pollutants.

Winner of the Seatrade Award

for Countering Marine Pollution.

Removal of cargo and bunkersMany wrecks remain full of pollutants at locations close

to vulnerable coastlines and can present a significant

threat to the marine environment. Failure to deal with

such problems can lead to a succession of costly clean-

up operations.

‘Ievoli Sun’SMIT Salvage successfully recovered the 4000 tonnes of

styrene cargo on board of the ‘Ievoli Sun’. The chemical

tanker sank during a storm in the Channel near France

at a depth of 95 metres. The cargo was recovered by

means of the award-winning POLREC I diverless pollutant

recovery system.

POLREC I avoids the high costs and hazards of saturation

diving when wrecks are located at great depths.

In recognition of the development, SMIT Salvage received

in association with its Norwegian partner Frank Mohn, the

Seatrade Award for Countering Marine Pollution.

The POLREC I system has proven itself in the successful

recovery of pollutants from tanker wrecks off the Korean

and French coast.

SMIT SALVAGE

INNOVATION & dEVELOPMENT

NeutronBackscattering SystemSMIT Salvage is facing increasing demand for offshore sal-

vage operations to recover oil products from wrecked

ships. From the environmental point of view this is a very

critical issue. Therefore SMIT’s R&D Department devel-

oped the Neutron Backscattering System (NBS) in co-oper-

ation with Shell Global Solutions. The NBS is designed to

detect levels of oils and chemicals in sunken vessels using

a neutron backscattering device which surveys a wreck’s

tank and provides a level indication of pollutants inside

by identifying changes in hydrogen density in liquids and

gases.SMIT’s revolutionary cutting system

in operation on the ‘Kursk’.

Another successful innovation from the I&D team, the advanced cutting system,

which removed the front section of the ‘Kursk’.

The cutting wire consists of a series of grit-covered bushes mounted along a high tension steel cable.

SMIT’s company culture rewards initiative and creativity.

Innovation & Development (I&D) programmes are explor-

ing new technologies for wreck removal, systems for

pollutant recovery tasks and equipment for enhanced

deep water work.

I&D priorities are set according to changing operational

needs, particularly in areas such as environmental defence

and technologies required to confront pollution threats

from wrecks. Programs include the development of novel

pumping techniques, new solutions for heating heavy

oils underwater and systems for the subsea detection of

oil/water interface.
