TMC Marine’s comprehensive services include emergency response, salvage and wreck removal, engineering and marine accident investigation, distressed cargo management, expert witness legal work, technical support for insurance claims, as well as loss prevention and cargo work.   


When marine assets are damaged, rapid intervention is necessary to avoid loss of the vessel, as well as damage to the environment or cargo. Accident investigation is necessary to determine the cause of an incident (collision, fire/explosion, grounding, etc.), and clients may require assistance initiating first-response services and monitoring the incident. As legal disputes can arise throughout a vessel’s lifecycle, from pre-delivery to post-incident, clients require sound, consistent technical advice from experienced consultants. 

  • More than 40 years of experience managing the world’s most challenging salvage projects

  • An emergency response team which comprises qualified SCRs, naval architects, marine engineers and master mariners
  • A comprehensive assistance following incidents, including on-site attendance and technical response coordination
  • In-house developed software enables independent verification of engineering calculations
  • A comprehensive range of legal services throughout the incident timeline
