DONJON Marine Co., Inc. Provides Wreck Removal, Salvage Services to Two Lost Barges on Hudson River

Hillside, NJ: During early October 2007, Donjon Marine, Co., Inc., a provider of multi-faceted marine services including marine salvage, heavy lift, dredging and related emergency response services, completed the salvage of the 1200-ton capacity aggregate Barge B-2002 and the wreck removal of a similar sized aggregate barge, the C-546.

Both barges were lost during transit on the Hudson River, in or around the Bear Mountain Bridge. The C-546 was declared a total loss and was removed from about 80 feet of water, while the B-2002 flipped and settled in an upside-down condition in about 25 foot of water. The C-546 was removed by chopping it into small sections via the “Chopper Beam” method of wreck removal, while the B-2002 was rolled and refloated with the use of Donjon’s Chesapeake 1000 and subsequently redelivered to owners for repair.
