Grounding Incident Repair in Freeport, Bahamas

Case Study

Grounding Incident Repair in Freeport, Bahamas

In response to a vessel grounding incident in Freeport, Bahamas, Subsea Global Solutions was called in to provide specialized repair services and quickly mobilized a team, coordinating with stakeholders to assess the extent of the damage. The incident affected multiple tanks on the vessel, and preliminary assessments conducted by our East Coast project lead in collaboration with Subsea Global Senior Weld Engineer Uwe Aschemeier, the client and the Class Society were used to develop a mutually approved repair plan.  

The complex operation required resources from multiple Subsea Global Solutions offices, including Long Beach, Port Angeles, Vancouver, Houston, Sydney, Miami, and Busan. A dedicated team of 15 skilled technicians was deployed, and the project spanned 15 days and 30 shifts. The project involved securing the damaged tanks with cofferdams and doubler plates, enabling the vessel to dewater and proceed with internal repairs. Local logistical challenges, including the vessel's shift to a layby berth, were met with flexibility and efficiency, ensuring the project stayed on schedule.

Subsea Global delivered a class-approved repair that allowed the vessel to resume operation, exceeding client expectations through precise project management and consistent communication. The client appreciated Subsea’s dedication to meeting the timeline and providing daily updates, which helped them keep key stakeholders informed throughout the process. Their positive feedback underscores Subsea Global’s expertise in managing large-scale, emergency repairs and reinforces our reputation for reliable, high-quality marine solutions.
