Emergency Salvage at Moon Island: Grounded Vessel Successfully Recovered

When a vessel ran aground along the shores of Moon Island, immediate action was required to prevent further structural damage and environmental risk. HHA Diving Services mobilized a dedicated salvage team to the island, where operations continued for seven consecutive days under challenging coastal conditions.

Upon assessment, the vessel was found to have sustained a crack along the bottom hull, compromising its integrity and seaworthiness. Our commercial divers carried out detailed underwater inspections, stabilized the vessel, and executed in-situ repairs to restore hull integrity.

Following the successful repair, a controlled refloating operation was performed. The vessel was safely freed from the shoreline and towed back to harbor, fully stabilized and secure.
