In response to a vessel grounding incident in Freeport, Bahamas, Subsea Global Solutions swiftly mobilized a specialized team to assess the damage and coordinate with key stakeholders. The commercial container ship involved, with a length of 276.07 meters, a beam of 40 meters, and a gross tonnage of 66,625, sustained damage to multiple tanks. Our East Coast project lead, alongside Senior Weld Engineer Uwe Aschemeier, worked closely with the client and Class Society to conduct a thorough assessment and 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.
