Commercial Diving

Alaska Marine Response certified divers are experienced in the marine industry. We know and understand the waters of Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. Our team will arrive on-site to assess possible damage to your vessel, and help advise of next steps.

In addition, we provide underwater assessments and services for dock repairs, surveys, underwater repairs, infrastructure, and more.

Pollution Control

Once a boat is evacuated, pollution is the most immediate concern. It is imperative to contain fuel spills and other pollution issues. AMR rapidly coordinates with the U.S. Coast Guard, ADEC, and other related agencies.

We deploy oil spill boom and absorbent materials, defuel boats, and assess potential hazards. The AMR team is knowledgeable about the requirements of governing agencies as well as insurance companies, and works to resolve pollution problems as effectively and efficiently as possible.
