I raised a question not making an opinion. Salvage companies like Smit Salvage, Resolve and Mammoet have experience from worldwide operations and similar salvage, as well as wreck removal by cutting in place.
They also have access to real large capacity floating cranes and other equipment that may not be available in the US.
My question was really in refr. to the resistance to allow foreign contractors and floating equipment into US waters, even if the Insurers requested it and it would be to everybody’s advantage to get the job done quickly, cheaply and safely.
