Salvage

SMIT Salvage is on standby day and night to assist ships in danger anywhere in the world, be they ships that have lost their steering, ships at risk of running aground or ships involved in an accident. At any time SMIT can respond immediately to an emergency from four global strategic locations (Rotterdam, Kaapstad, Singapore and Houston) and mobilise highly qualified staff and salvage equipment.

Wreck removal

SMIT Salvage is also involved in wreck removal. This is necessary for wrecks which form an obstruction to traffic or present an environmental hazard. Also, in the case where wrecks do not obstruct traffic,

customers increasingly opt for the removal of a ship’s possibly hazardous cargo. SMIT possesses the technology and expertise needed to remove pollutants such as fuel oil from a wreck.
