Young diver and salvage

Perhaps Seawork's most noteable salvage operation was conducted when a vessel smuggling drugs into the UK ran aground. It was actually being brought into port  but it was holed badly enough that divers were needed to work on the hull.  Everyone had to be searched going on and off site to make sure that no further drugs had been found.  During the work a young 'baby' diver went missing for a little while and was found in the hold reading some 'exciting' material that had been found.

Around 4 million pounds worth of drugs were found on this boat, most of them hidden in cheese rounds.

Yachts

On occasion yahcts have required help and when this has happened it has always been the policy of this company to ensure that they are retrieved in the most efficient and cheapest method possible.  Claiming salvage has never been an option.
