SALVAGE SERVICES

What is Salvage?

Salvage refers to any emergency boating situation which requires the rescue of a boat from peril or danger including hard groundings and sinking.

Our salvage masters use soft rigging and air liftbags to prevent any unnecessary damage to vessels. Cranes and other heavy machinery are utilized when needed along with other salvage techniques. Baltimore Marine Recovery has portable salvage and dive equipment ready 24 hours a day to assist those in need.

 Marine salvage services from Baltimore Marine Recovery are guided by a salvage contract which is separate from the tow services provided by BoatUS. Salvage is typically covered under a marine insurance "protection and indemnity" policy that specifically provides coverage for salvage, refloat or wreck removal.

 Baltimore Marine Recovery will assist you throughout the entire emergency. Giving advice and dealing directly with your insurance company. Once arrangements are made with your insurance company with direct billing we handle the rest of the details for you.

Unwanted Vessels

In some cases, vessels that have been abandoned or no longer have value must be disposed of. At Baltimore Marine Recovery we encourage you to investigate charitable giving options before you think demolition.  However, when the only option is demolition, we will tow your boat from its dock and handle all aspects of demolition, recycling and disposal.  Call us at 410-255-8700 for a quote.
