Salvage & vessel recovery
For a grounding, loss of propulsion or other marine casualty, call with the vessel’s location, incident time, crew status and known damage. Lion Offshore coordinates salvage enquiries and the assessment of available assistance.
Scope of support
We assess the vessel’s condition, location and assistance required. Depending on the assignment, Lion Offshore undertakes the agreed operation or coordinates suitable tugs, specialist teams and equipment. Availability and the scope of work require confirmation.
- Assessment of the reported condition and recovery requirement.
- Agreement on the operational role, suitable resources and mobilisation.
- Coordination with the owner, operator and relevant parties.
Questions before your enquiry
What to prepare for your enquiry
Identify the vessel, your role and a reachable contact. Give the latest position with its time, reported incident, crew situation, damage, propulsion/steering condition, requested assistance and unknowns. Send available photos, particulars and reports when safe and practical, without unnecessary personal data. Identify the owner/operator, appointed agent and coordinating parties; an office contact is not necessarily authorised for the operation. Agree whether Lion Offshore’s role is direct operations or coordination of suitable tugs, specialists and equipment. A casualty report alone does not prove a towing need. Confirm availability, mobilisation and responsibilities for the case.
How is mobilisation planned?
Mobilisation depends on the location, dates, scope and available resources. The team reviews these details with you before confirming an arrangement.
How are responsibilities agreed?
The scope, participating parties and their responsibilities are agreed for each project. Describe the support you need so these can be clarified in the quotation.
Can I enquire with incomplete information?
Vessel, location, dates, measurements and a technical attachment are optional. Share what you know; our team can clarify the rest.
