Our Story

  • Our Story
  • Corporate Mission
  • Mission Resolve Foundation

In 1984, only 4 years after purchasing his first tug – THE RESOLVE, Joe Farrell Jr. formally opened Resolve Towing & Salvage developing into a global leader in Emergency Response, Wreck Removal, Marine Services, Regulatory Compliance, and Maritime Training.  Growing from a one-tug operation, Resolve’s capabilities expanded as teams oversaw jobs in the Caribbean working on small freighters and island vessels to larger, high-profile response projects.  Following the 1989 EXXON VALDEZ oil spill in Alaska, the U.S. Coast Guard established regulations for OPA-90 and, at the time, Farrell, realized he needed to offer services that met those regulations if he wanted to remain in business.

In order to comply with OPA-90 rules, Resolve needed the expertise and capabilities to fight tank vessel fires – in short, it needed a firefighting team and, as it turned out, the only way to establish one was to build a training facility. Resolve soon became the only salvage company with an in-house firefighting team of experts, who also served as professional instructors.

While Farrell realized the OPA-90 model had worldwide ramifications, he first dedicated his resources to the North American market. RESOLVE was the only SMFF provider at the time with a focus on offering the best services in the United States. Farrell’s dedication to refine the OPA-90 emergency response model domestically paid off as Resolve now maintains a strong network of 23 depots nationwide, stocked with company-owned equipment around the clock.

Once Resolve established its U.S. capabilities, Farrell applied the OPA-90 emergency response model worldwide. The company now has offices and response bases in the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Singapore, India, China, and South Africa.

We’re proud that the world’s largest ships come to us to protect them. You don’t get that from good advertising – you get it from a solid track record.

Joseph Farrell,

President & CEO

Mission Resolve

Mission Resolve Foundation, founded by Resolve Marine CEO Joseph E. Farrell, Jr, is a nonprofit organization who helps to minimize the challenges that coastal communities face. In times of disaster, we act as a facilitator for governments and NGOs providing our global experience and large-scale logistical deployment expertise.  Our team immediately responds by clearing channels and providing personnel, vessels, and response equipment. The Foundation’s goal is to lead by example and assist all others in their respective disciplines.

Mission Resolve Foundation also helps address critical maritime environmental initiatives, which include marine plastics cleanup, coral restoration, artificial reef restoration and deployment, coastal erosion mitigation, and other pressing ocean-related needs.  Mission Resolve also fosters its marine conservation support by providing extensive educational initiatives for schools, educators, and communities around the world.
