This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prompt and effective response to time-critical ship casualties and emergencies, for example, by refloating stranded ships, can prevent marine pollution and economic disruption of ports and waterways. The marine salvage industry, which conducts this work, has undergone significant changes in the past two decades. This book evaluates these changes and assesses the adequacy of marine salvage in the United States. Among the issues addressed are conditions in the salvage industry; emergency response-time; national salvage policy; workforce needs; salvage techniques; and the contribution of the Navy to the national salvage capability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the days when wooden sailing ships made up the fleets of the world, a ship that ran ashore could sometimes be freed by the judicious use of ground tackle and muscle. Most of the time, however, there was little to do other than rescue the crew and save the cargo. The rules of the sea began to change, however, in the mid-1800s. With the advent of steam power and a growing understanding of how human beings can work underwater, it became increasingly possible to refloat wrecked vessels, clear harbors, and locate and raise sunken ships, their cargoes, and other objects lost at sea. By the start of the twentieth century, the U.S. Navy had developed a fledgling salvage capability. Today, under the aegis of the Supervisor of Salvage, the Navy routinely handles assignments around the world, guarding U.S. naval and maritime interests and responding to requests for assistance from our allies. Mud, Muscle, and Miracles takes its reader on a gripping journey through the evolution of salvage—from the construction of a cofferdam to reveal the battleship Maine at the bottom of Havana harbor to the use of side-scan sonar and remotely operated vehicles to recover aircraft debris and complete vessels from the depths. The story is one of masterful seamanship, incomparable engineering, and absolute ingenuity and courage. It is also the history of one of our nation's longest lasting public-private partnerships—that of the commercial salvage industry and the U.S. Navy. Along the way there emerges more than a century's worth of strong, colorful, and supremely competent personalities, most of whom gained their understanding of salvage on the muddy sea bottom or on a slippery deck with winches groaning and wire ropes singing. Until the publication of these comprehensive editions on naval salvage, they were among the last of our nation's unsung heroes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by a man with extensive experience in salvage operations, this is a comprehensive treatment of ship salvage in all its aspects, but written in plain language. The early chapters introduce the concepts of marine salvage and explain how the parties involved in a salvage operation relate. Ship construction and naval architecture as they pertain to possible later salvage of a ship are explained, and the types of casualties are described. The fine points of surveys, salvage plans and processes, rigging, restoring buoyancy, lifting, machinery and equipment used in salvage, cargo handling, and the special aspects related to salvage of tankers are discussed in complete detail. Casualty management is also covered. The book's appendices include necessary salvage contracts, sample forms, and checklists for all possible situations.
Download or read book Marine Salvage in the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on the National Salvage Posture of the National Research Council has completed an assessment of the salvage capability of the United States in order to determine the extent to which we have the capability to salve ships. The study focused on the needs of commercial ships for time- critical assistance in the ocean waters of the United States out to 200 miles. Military and national emergency requirements were excluded from the study. The committee concluded that it has been possible, so far, to meet our salvage needs with current capabilities. There has been no pattern of failure to cope with casualties due, in part, to the flexibility and ability to improvise, and also to luck, especially in that a catastrophe such as the Amoco Cadiz has not yet occurred in the United States. That the Prince William Sound did not become a negative statistic was luck. The incident is, nevertheless, indicative of the committee's concerns with our current salvage posture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime commerce is vital to the nations economic health, with about 15 percent of U.S. gross domestic product flowing through its seaports. Approximately one-third of U.S. imports are carried aboard foreign-flag ships calling at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California (LA/LB), making this major port complex particularly vulnerable to any significant disruption in vessel traffic. Concerns about homeland security have led to serious consideration of the likelihood and consequences of a terrorist attack on one or more major hubs of maritime trade.
