RESOLVE Marine Group Refloats Stranded Cruise Ship

Published Jan 20, 2011 9:55 AM by The Maritime Executive

RESOLVE Marine Group, the marine salvage, firefighting and emergency response company with worldwide operations, has successfully refloated the Clipper Adventurer cruise ship today. The vessel had run aground on uncharted rocks in Coronation Gulf, in Canada's Northwest Passage on Friday, August 27.

The RESOLVE salvage team deployed four tugs at high tide earlier today, to free the stranded vessel. The Clipper had sustained several breeches to the hull when it ran aground the rocks last month, with passengers onboard. The Canadian Coast Guard evacuated the passengers without incident before the salvage operations began. The vessel is currently underway to Port Epworth, Nunavut, where she will be stabilized and temporary repairs effected.
