Featured Project -

Island Duchess Salvage & Tow,

Alexandria Bay, NY

Seaway Marine Group responded immediately to a request for assistance for passenger vessel Island Duchess, which had run aground and was taking on water. Working with Hunt Underwater Specialties, we were able to temporarily patch the hull and assist in dewatering efforts to keep her afloat.

We also performed the initial pollution response, placing oil containment and absorbent boom around the vessel and oil absorbents in the vessel’s holds to minimize the environmental impact.

Finally, we completed the dead ship tow to Kingston, Ontario with our tugs Seaway Maid and Seaway Patricia. The Island Duchess has since been repaired and is now back in operation.
