Salvage & Recovery Services

Maintain safe, navigable waterways through professional salvage and recovery operations

Overview

 Budwine Marine Consultants provides expert salvage and recovery operations across the Inland Waterways. Once surveyors identify salvageable assets, our dive teams execute underwater recovery with precision and speed. We clear debris and retrieve submerged materials to keep navigation channels safe and operational, minimizing future risk. 

Post-recovery, Budwine supports clients through the bidding process for vessel repairs, scrap valuation, and cargo repurposing—ensuring full-cycle asset management. 

  • Light Salvage: Recovery of small or uncomplicated items such as tools or equipment, requiring minimal intervention.

  • Heavy Salvage: Retrieval of large or complex assets—including sunken vessels, vehicles, and heavy machinery—using specialized equipment and detailed planning.
