Alaskan Salvor

The Alaskan Salvor

The “ALASKAN SALVOR” is a 65′ dive salvage vessel that was originally built for the U.S. Army, numbered “T-443” and employed as a patrol or coastal tender (‘T-boat’). The vessel is outfitted with three generators providing 20 KW, 50 KW and 60 KW of power, de-watering pumps able to pump 300 gallons per minute and welding/cutting gear for underwater and topside needs. It is constructed of welded steel, with a raked stem, round bilge, a shallow draft keel, and a rounded transom stern. The decks are on a single level bow to stern, and the sheer is stepped down amidships. This is a single screw of 345 Horsepower. The deckhouse contains a head, comfortable galley, dive station, and a customer viewing area. Our topside dive station and customer viewing area along with a double lockout re-compression chamber support our dive ops. The vessel also has large deck space and a picking capacity of over 15,000 lbs that is generated from several booms, winches, and an “A-Frame.”
