Recovery of 15 Ton Coil Lost Overboard by MV Deep Blue
Location: Offshore, India
Project Type: Marine Salvage & Recovery
Status: Successfully Completed
Seadogs Pvt Ltd was entrusted with the complex and high-stakes task of recovering a 15-ton steel coil that had fallen overboard from MV Deep Blue during cargo operations. The incident resulted in the coil embedding itself 8 meters below the sea bed, making this recovery one of the more technically challenging operations in recent times.
Scope of Work
Underwater search and localization of the sunken cargo
Seabed excavation and controlled recovery
Deployment of heavy-duty underwater lifting equipment
Coordination with marine authorities and vessel management
Challenges
The steel coil was not merely resting on the seabed—it had penetrated deep into the soft marine sediment, requiring careful excavation without causing further sinking or damage. The weight, location, and burial depth demanded a precise, well-coordinated underwater operation.
Execution & Outcome
Using a combination of advanced sonar scanning, diver-led inspections, and customized lifting gear, our team successfully located and recovered the coil intact. This project underscores Seadogs Pvt Ltd’s expertise in marine salvage, underwater recovery, and critical response operations.
