Salvage and marine ecosystem protection

从可持续性的角度来看,我们的打捞行动的重要性是获得外部认可。通过挽救船只的工作,我们有助于保护经济价值并避免环境破坏。

Boskalis provides services relating to marine salvage and wreck removal. We assist vessels in distress and are able to spring into action at anytime and anywhere in the world. We can do so by operating out of four locations which are strategically situated along the main international shipping routes: Houston, Cape Town, Rotterdam and Singapore. The removal of shipwrecks or damaged offshore platforms almost always takes place at locations where the wreck forms an obstruction to traffic or presents an environmental hazard. We have the advanced technology and expertise needed to remove hazardous substances such as heavy fuel oil from wrecks and boast asuccessful track recordin salvaging vessels and platforms under challenging circumstances.

Strengthening our contribution

Our salvage operations contribute towards the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 14 (life below water). Delivering on Goal 14 requires the prevention and reduction of marine pollution of all kinds. Over the last 5 years, our salvage operations has prevented significant amounts of pollutants from entering the marine environment. Our taim is to prevent any oil (products), pollutants and hazardous cargo from the vessels we salvage from entering into marine ecosystems.
