"More than a professional commitment, a social responsibility"

We at MEW sincerely believe that besides our professional obligations we also have a social responsibility. We therefore understand the true dimensions of salvage and wreck removals in times of maritime disaster. Our teams have the strong backing of none other than the world-renowned maritime service provider SMIT Salvage .B.V.

This led to two vessels (Harbour Tug and Split Barge) of Karachi Port Trust undergoing repairs, to capsize. Our Team headed by a Salvage Master, Naval Architect, and Salvage and Diving Supervisor, working with local personnel came to the rescue; project successfully completed in record time of just 13 days.

Crude Oil Tanker “Tasman Spirit” Runs Aground:

Oil Tanker Tasman Spirit was grounded at Karachi Harbour during July 2005. The Tanker suffered a structural failure resulting breaking into two sections. SMIT was awarded the contract to recover the remaining pumpable oils and to remove the forward and aft sections of the vessel. 2 Sheer legs of 1000 and 1500 ton lifting capacity, 3 salvage tugs, Semi-submersible work barge, accommodation vessel and equipment from Netherlands, Singapore, Middle East and more than 200 salvage personnel from 11 nations geared up to undertake this complex and challenging job. Both sections of the broken Tanker were successfully delivered to local scrap yard in Gadani well ahead of schedule. MEW played a pivotal role in securing the contract, served as local agent of SMIT. The tasks were to clear the wreck, craft, personnel and salvage equipment.
