A Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) lost stability during a pre-load sequence and subsequently sank in 90 meters of water off the coast of Malaysia. Resolve Marine was called upon by the owners and their P&I insurers to assist with phase one of the response which entailed the removal of the helideck which was accomplished utilizing ultra-thermic cutting and the barge's 300 ton crane. The second phase of the operation involved the removal and disposal of the remaining hydrocarbons on the wreck. The team utilized SAT divers with ROV support to hot tap the tanks to assess and safely recover the pollutants.
