Husky Salvage and Towing

Husky Salvage and Towing teamed up with Above and Below Marine Services to salvage this vessel from the shoreline of St. Thomas. After hearing a 4am and discussions with U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Juan, the work began immediately. The generator fuel was removed from the electric vessel and the vessel was removed with ship launching bags and lift bags from the Muller Bay shoreline, with very little impact to the surrounding environment.

! Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit St. Thomas, USVI informed salvors completed efforts to refloat a grounded 60-foot catamaran in Muller Bay, Wednesday.

Once refloated, the vessel was placed in tow and transported to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Thursday. No signs of pollution were identified in this case.

“We appreciate the diligence of vessel owners for taking prompt action and removing this vessel,” said Cmdr. Brian Dochterman, Marine Safety Unit St. Thomas commanding officer. “Vessel groundings differ from case to case; they can present unique challenges and can cause significant harm to the environment if not addressed in a timely manner. Fortunately, in this case, conditions allowed vessel salvors to present and execute their plan without delay minimizing the impact to the surrounding sensitive environment.”

Coast Guard personnel responded to a report of a 60-foot catamaran breaking free from its mooring in Muller Bay, Tuesday, after the vessel ran aground in an environmentally sensitive area. The responsible party worked with commercial salvors, who used inflatable bags to safely remove the vessel.

Husky teamed up with USVI salvage company Above and Below to successfully complete the challenging removal of the vessel 'Lady Striker'. The conditions and the location were gnarly, and the vessel had deteriorated significantly before our services were engaged.
