GBSY Drydock 2

Caribbean | Bahamas

The vessel (GBSY DD2) suffered a structural failure and flooding during the docking of a large cruise vessel. The vessel was ballasted by the shipyard and subsequently sank from under the cruise vessel where she settled on the seabed. The cruise vessel was safely removed from the vessel.

Resolve Marine was contracted to remove the 900ft structure from the seabed. The dry dock was first cut in half using a drop chisel. Each section was then patched and refloated using a combination of compressed air and high-capacity submersible pumps. Once refloated the damaged wing wall sections were scrapped using oxy/acetylene torches.
