Frequently Asked Questions
What is yacht salvage?
Yacht salvage involves the recovery of a vessel that is in distress, has sunk, or is otherwise incapacitated. The process includes stabilizing, refloating, and transporting the yacht to a safe location for repair or disposal.
How do I know if I need salvage services?
Salvage is necessary when a yacht is stranded, partially or fully submerged, or in a precarious position where further damage or environmental hazards are imminent. It is also required in cases of severe grounding, collision, or fire.
If your yacht is unable to be moved by its own power due to damage or danger, or if it poses a risk to the environment, salvage services are needed. It's best to contact a professional salvage company for an assessment.
Will my insurance cover salvage costs?
Many yacht insurance policies include coverage for salvage operations. It's important to review your policy and contact your insurance provider to understand the extent of your coverage and any applicable conditions.
What does the salvage process involve?
The salvage process typically involves:
Assessment of the situation and planning.
Stabilizing the vessel to prevent further damage.
Refloating or lifting the yacht using specialized equipment.
Transporting the yacht to a safe location for repair or disposal.
How long does a salvage operation take?
The duration of a salvage operation depends on various factors such as the condition of the yacht, the severity of the situation, weather conditions, and the complexity of the operation. It can range from a few hours to several days.
What happens to my yacht after it is salvaged?
After salvage, the yacht is transported to a safe location for a thorough inspection and assessment. Based on the condition, it may undergo repairs, be sold, or in severe cases, be dismantled.
