What questions we answer

How do I remove wrecks without spreading pollution in the area? How do I ensure control over the environmental impact during recovery?
How do I document that the operation was safe and compliant with requirements?

‍

Wrecks on the seabed pose an accumulated environmental risk – oil, heavy metals, and toxic antifouling residues build up over time. Without controlled execution, the recovery itself could trigger the very spills it aims to prevent. Submara assesses conditions and risks in advance, conducts the recovery with control through all phases, and documents that the work is performed responsibly and adapted to the specific site conditions.

Wreck recovery is relevant in situations where objects on the seabed pose a risk to the environment, safety, or the continued use of an area. It is also applicable when authorities mandate removal or cleanup, where documented and controlled execution is crucial. Furthermore, recovery is utilized after incidents such as groundings, shipwrecks, or accidents, where rapid handling is necessary to protect both the environment and infrastructure. The service is also relevant when installations or materials must be removed from the seabed, for example, in connection with cleanup, decommissioning of facilities, or preparing for new projects.
