Salvage & Towing

Alaska Marine Salvage provides comprehensive salvage and towing services. When a vessel experiences an emergency on the water, runs aground, or sinks, AMR is fully equipped to raise and/or tow to any port in Prince William Sound. Our professional divers can assess underwater hull damage.

Our vessel response fleet includes the S/T Oswell Foss, a classic single screw diesel tug built and proven to meet the challenges of the Pacific Northwest. This vessel has worked from Puget Sound to the Aleutians, and currently serves as a salvage tug for Alaska Marine Response.

During much of the fishing season, the Oswell Foss is stationed in Prince William Sound, prepared for immediate action. Some of the gear we keep on board includes:

  • Dewatering equipment
  • Dive gear
  • Air compressors
  • Extensive damage control kit
  • Lift bags
  • Oil spill boom and absorbent materials
  • Trash pumps
  • Primary tow line 400’ 1.5” double braid nylon rated at 45,000 lbs.
  • 2” double braid nylon tow bridle fastened to the forward cleats with chafe protection

Marine Contracting

Alaska Marine Response has the tools, know-how, resources, and crew you need for success. From coordinating helicopter support at remote field camps, to building underwater plumbing systems for a processing plant, to transporting vessels around Alaska and to/from the Lower 48 –  AMR has you covered.

  • Gear storage when you need to send people or equipment ahead of a research project or field camp

  • Regulatory systems: Operations that allow you to measure, define and photograph your marine systems to regulation
  • Documenting and inspection support
  • Compliance support with local, state and federal agencies

Commercial Diving

Alaska Marine Response certified divers are experienced in the marine industry. We know and understand 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, and infrastructure.

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.
