Global Emergency Preparedness

Resolve Marine’s Global Emergency Preparedness program was purpose-built to meet, and exceed, the emergency response expectations embedded within TMSA 3 and DryBMS vetting frameworks. As charterers, insurers, regulators, and port stakeholders have raised the bar on demonstrable preparedness for salvage and pollution response, Resolve recognized a growing industry gap: organizations needed more than contractual access to responders. They needed verifiable readiness, technical credibility, and trusted advisory support before an incident occurs. 

This program was developed to address that need directly. 

From Vetting Requirements to Operational Assurance 

TMSA 3 and DryBMS emphasize proactive emergency planning, pre-incident relationships with professional salvors, documented access to response resources, and the ability to demonstrate effective decision-making during high-consequence events. Increasingly, these expectations extend beyond shipowners to insurers evaluating risk exposure, regulatory authorities overseeing port safety, and port operators responsible for infrastructure resilience. 

Resolve Marine’s Global Emergency Preparedness program transforms these requirements into a practical, real-world solution, one that strengthens operational resilience while providing tangible proof of preparedness to vetting bodies, underwriting teams, and governmental stakeholders. 

For shipowners, it supports audit readiness and charterer confidence. 
For underwriters, it demonstrates proactive risk mitigation. 
For ports and regulatory authorities, it enhances system-wide readiness for large-scale marine casualties. 

Always-On Access to Salvage & Marine Firefighting Expertise 

At the core of the program is immediate, 24/7 access to Resolve’s global salvage, marine firefighting, and environmental response experts. Clients are supported by an experienced shore-based response team, typically including a Salvage Master, Naval Architect, and Commercial Manager, available at all times to provide technical advice, damage stability guidance, and response strategy support during developing or actual emergencies. 

This advisory-first model reflects a critical reality: early, informed decisions materially reduce consequences, environmental impact, financial exposure, and reputational risk. 

Infrastructure & Capability Gap Assessments 

True preparedness requires more than a phone number. It requires understanding whether existing infrastructure, equipment, training, and coordination protocols are sufficient to handle a large-scale marine casualty. 

Resolve works with shipowners, insurers, and port stakeholders to: 

• Conduct infrastructure and capability gap analyses 
• Evaluate marine firefighting readiness and salvage resource accessibility 
• Assess response integration with local, regional, and national authorities 
• Identify equipment, training, or coordination shortfalls 
• Develop corrective action plans and structured improvement roadmaps 

Where appropriate, Resolve also supports the implementation of marine firefighting training programs, tabletop exercises, and multi-agency drills designed to elevate real-world response capability, not just documentation. 

This approach strengthens both vessel-level and port-level emergency resilience.

Global Readiness, Not Generic Coverage 

Resolve’s preparedness model goes beyond standard agreements. Upon request, we analyze trading patterns, high-risk corridors, and remote operating areas to identify response gaps and resource limitations. Through a vetted global partner network and proprietary tools such as tug availability mapping and drift modeling, Resolve ensures preparedness is tailored, regionally informed, and operationally realistic. 

Where local regulations or cabotage laws restrict foreign intervention, Resolve provides transparent advisory support and coordinates the most effective compliant response solution. 

Designed for Confidence, Built on Trust 

The Global Emergency Preparedness Coverage is intentionally non-binding, flexible, and client-centric. Its value lies not in exclusivity but in establishing a trusted relationship before an incident, removing hesitation, delays, and uncertainty when time matters most.  

For shipowners navigating increasingly stringent vetting regimes, Resolve Marine delivers more than compliance. We deliver confidence, credibility, and readiness globally.
