Frequently Asked Questions — Sweeny, TX
How is marine salvage and commercial diving work typically priced?
Commercial diving work is usually quoted as a crew/spread day rate plus a separate mobilisation charge. Inspection work may be bid per structure or per substructure unit, while marine construction is often unit-priced, such as per linear foot or per pile. When comparing bids, the mobilisation line is the most common reason for large gaps, as it reflects distance, logistics, and setup time.
Do you travel to vessels outside the Sweeny, TX area?
Mobilisation costs are based on the distance from the contractor's base to your vessel's location and the type of equipment needed. Even within TX, remote anchorages or river sites can require special permits and transport coordination. Your bid will list mobilisation as a separate line item, so ask about it explicitly when comparing proposals.
What certifications prove a commercial diving contractor is qualified?
Commercial diving operations in the U.S. must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T, and dive supervisors typically follow ADCI consensus standards. A recreational scuba card such as PADI or NAUI is not a commercial diving qualification, so ask to see proof of commercial dive team training and experience, including a documented standby diver on every dive.
Can you perform the work while the vessel stays afloat, or does it need to be hauled out?
Many inspections and some repairs can be done in-water, which avoids drydocking costs and delays. An in-water hull exam (UWILD) under 46 CFR 71.50-3 may satisfy Coast Guard requirements, but certain bottom repairs, shaft work, or surveys require a drydock or haul-out. The decision depends on class requirements, weather, and the specific damage, so the contractor will recommend the safest and most economical approach.
