Papendrecht, 3 October 2018
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis)
announces that its subsidiary SMIT Salvage acquired two five-year
marine salvage contracts to serve as the exclusive marine salvage
and engineering support contractor for the Naval Sea Systems
Command (NAVSEA), the division of the U.S. Navy responsible for
engineering, building, buying and maintaining Navy ships and
submarines. SMIT Salvage will provide the U.S. Navy with marine
salvage, salvage-related towing, ocean engineering and towage
services in the event of an emergency or incident in two of the
three geographic zones in the world as defined by the U.S.
Navy.
SMIT Salvage held a contract for one zone covering
the area between the Suez Canal and the dateline - the imaginary
line down the Pacific Ocean on which the calendar day begins and
ends - for a number of periods totaling more than 30 years, which
it was able to renew. In addition, the contract for a second zone
between the dateline and the U.S. West Coast was successfully
acquired.
With the award of the third and final contract to
its U.S. partner Donjon Marine, the companies are able to provide
worldwide marine salvage support to the U.S. Navy. SMIT Salvage and
Donjon Marine established the joint venture Donjon-SMIT to provide
salvage services to vessels trading in U.S. waters under the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA-90) and related U.S. state
regulations.
