Arctic Directory: Global Diving & Salvage responds to tsunami damage

Global Diving & Salvage Inc. said March 14 that it was engaged by the U.S. Coast Guard to respond to the destruction inflicted to Crescent City, Calif., by the 8-foot tsunami tidal surges generated by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake near Japan. The aftereffects of the tsunami impacted several areas along the West Coast of the United States causing significant damage to marine facilities and vessels unable to escape the onslaught.

Global has been tasked to assist with the removal of fuel, lubricants and other pollution threats from several of the stricken vessels that were sunk or severely damaged during the event. In response Global has mobilized diving and pollution mitigation equipment from their two California offices. Should conditions warrant, Global has the ability to cascade additional resources and personnel from several other company locations.
