Frequently Asked Questions — Lavallette, NJ
How far do you travel for a marine salvage job, and how does that affect the cost?
Salvage teams are typically based near major ports, but they mobilize nationwide. A crew/spread day rate covers the dive team and equipment on site; mobilisation is a separate charge for moving vessels, trucks, and gear to your location, and it often explains the largest difference between two bids. For a job in Lavallette, NJ, ask for the mobilisation line item explicitly.
What permits and lead time do I need for a salvage or underwater inspection?
Permits vary by state and waterway; USACE permits may be needed for work in navigable waters, and local authorities often require notices or closures. Scheduling also depends on tide, weather, and diver availability, so it's normal to book weeks ahead. Your contractor should handle the permit research, but you'll need to provide vessel ownership and casualty details.
What kind of report or documentation will I get after an inspection or salvage operation?
A professional operation provides a written report with observations, photos or video, and recommendations. For underwater bridge inspections, the report must meet the state's NBIS requirements and be signed by a qualified team leader; for other structures, the format follows client or regulatory needs. Salvage cases include a removal log and any disposal or turnover documentation.
Can you do the work without dry docking my vessel, and what are the trade-offs?
Many hull repairs and inspections can be done in-water by commercial divers, which avoids haul-out costs and downtime. However, some work is better in dry dock—for example, when classification society rules require a dry-dock exam, or when repairs need hot work or specialized alignment. Your diver will advise whether in-water work satisfies the relevant requirement, such as a UWILD under 46 CFR 71.50-3.
