It was a long couple days at the beginning of the week recovering this 42’ fishing boat that parted its mooring and went ashore in Small Point l, Maine. This was a very challenging recovery due to the wind and cold on Monday, remote location, and the fact that the vessel had a large hole punched in the starboard side of the engine room that required the vessel being moved to the neighboring beach to effect repairs that would allow it to safely make the trek to the boatyard. On Tuesday we had much more favorable conditions and were able to patch and de-water, then refloat the vessel and tow it to Casco bay boat works for haul out by IKS Transport, we were able to successfully remove the vessel and the inherent pollution hazard before stong southerly winds Tuesday night that would have further damaged the vessel. Many thanks to everyone involved especially my crew who put in a few long and not super fun days to get the job over the finish line. We are available 24-7 at 207-352-9000 for any marine towing, salvage, recovery or any other on the water need you may have!

Earlier this week we demolished a 57’ wooden trawler that had outlived its lifespan while hauled out at Portland Yacht Services. Working with our friends at Scott Dugas Trucking and Excavating in Yarmouth we were able to safely and efficiently demolish, properly dispose of the vessel at an approved waste facility, and clean up the yard to cleaner than when the vessel arrived in one day. If you have challenging vessel demolition needs we may be able to help. As always we are available 24/7 at 207-352-9000 for any marine towing, salvage, recovery or any other on the water need you may have.
