How you can make your mark
As a salvage master you can make your mark managing emergency response salvage projects and wreck removal projects. Regardless of the type of salvage, the goal is to keep the ship and cargo safe at all times.
As a salvage master, you are the operational manager of the salvage team, which includes a salvage supervisor, an salvage engineer and a naval architect. Together with the salvage team, your focus is on preserving the ship, the cargo and protecting the environment. To achieve this, it is important that the situation around a ship quickly becomes stable. This means: keeping the ship afloat or extinguishing a fire, calling in tugs and estimating what needs to be done with the fuel or cargo. Make decisions immediately and act quickly and safely. That's what it's all about, because often there is a lot at stake.
Your responsibilities as a salvage master
- Drawing up an operational project plan in preparation for the project.
- Inventory of the required equipment and personnel.
- Monitoring the project and reporting and evaluation so that all parties involved are at all times aware of the project progress.
- Focus on quality standards and guarantee safety.
- Deploying and assessing our own colleagues and the hired staff.
As a salvage master you are not only operationally responsible, but also commercially. This means that (co-) drawing up a commercial offer is also part of your duties.
