Salvage Operations:

Marine salvage involves recovering vessels, cargo, or other objects that have sunk or become stranded in the water. Salvage operations can be complex and challenging, often requiring specialized equipment and expertise. One such piece of equipment used in marine salvage is an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with cameras.

​

Here’s how ROVs contribute to salvage operations:

​

• Locating and Assessing: It can locate and assess the condition of the vessel or object that needs salvaging. Operated by a trained technician from a control room on a surface vessel, the ROV’s cameras provide high-definition video footage of the underwater environment.

• Inspection: Inspects critical components such as the hull, propellers, and other parts of the vessel. It also examines any cargo or equipment on board.

• Salvage Planning: Information gathered by helping develop a salvage plan, considering the vessel’s condition and environmental factors.

• ​Assistance in Recovery: During the actual salvage process, it may attach lines or rigging to facilitate recovery. Real-time footage from the cameras allows the salvage team to monitor the operation.
