Salvage - Emergency Contact
Many factors play a key role in reducing the number of accidents at sea e.g. advanced technical equipment, safe routing and greater awareness through improved quality and safety systems to name but a few. However, due to the very nature of the shipping industry there will always be a risk element and prompt and professional assistance is essential should an accident occur.
Alfons Håkans salvage capabilities are well known to many of the leading insurance brokers and hull underwriters throughout the world, especially due to the high profile salvage of the grounded passenger vessel "Sally Albatross" and the capsized container feeder "Janra".
