Mammoet Salvage is engaged in an operation to recover the legs of a drilling rig in the South China Sea and take them ashore. The oil rig was damaged in last year’s North East Monsoon and the module was salvaged instantly. The legs are being retracted from the seabed and the operation is in full progress now. For the retraction and recovery operation Mammoet Salvage has teamed up with JRI Resources from Malaysia and will deploy a spread mainly consisting of a dive- and accommodation barge, their own 330 ft lifting barge equipped with our certified deck tackle and chain pulling system, capable of developing 2400 Te retraction force and a 500 Te floating sheerlegs for loading the recovered legs onto the transport barge.

Mammoet Salvage often works for International insurance firms, based in London. Therefore the London market is of great importance. Due to the fact that Mammoet Salvage is relatively new in the market, for many it was a great surprise to learn about the capabilities, professionalism and back up of the entire Mammoet Organization beneficial to the development and capacity of Salvage. To show the impressive capabilities of the entire Mammoet organization, the equipment, workshops and engineering capacities it was decided to organize a relation event for our UK clients and prospects.
