Joe Farrell is Resolved to

Leave the World a Better Place

Resolve MarineGroup, Inc. recentlybegan recovery work on the iron orecarrying vessel Black Rose whichsank last month in the Bay of Bengal,India. Resolve’s team was awardedthe tender by the Paradip Port Trustand will be pumping some 925 tonsof fuel oil and 50 tons of diesel oil

By Greg Trauthwein

For a man who has honed his craft deep underwater, Joseph Farrell,

Jr., founder and president of Resolve Marine, gives plenty of credit

to the heavens above. Anyone working in, around and under the

water has had their fair share of close calls, and Farrell is no excep-

tion. Make no mistake, Farrell does not take unnecessary risks,

ensuring his workers are trained thoroughly and his jobs planned

meticulously.

“When you go out there, there is no ‘cowboy’ … you have to know

exactly what you have and how you are going to handle it,” Farrell

said. He takes pride in the fact that his company has never lost a

worker on the job since its inception in 1980. However, even the best-

laid plans sometimes go awry, and Farrell credits a higher authority

and his deep faith in the fact that he has survived and prospered in the

business of maritime salvage and recovery. Ultimately, he created

and to this day runs his company with the simple philosophy to

“Leave the world a better place.”

But the potential dangers lurking in every recovery effort often pale

in comparison to the day-to-day business challenges of keeping

afloat a company that is financially dependent on the unpredictable

nature of accidents and recovery. To this end, Farrell and his team are

embarked on a rebranding mission that repositions Resolve Marine

for growth today and tomorrow, with a focus on three core areas o

business:

• Resolve Salvage and Firefighting Response

• Resolve Maritime Training Academy, and

• Resolve Marine Services

“We sort of outgrew our roots,” said Farrell, during a recent inter-

view in his Ft. Lauderdale office. “It is not enough to sustain an entire

company (on the marine salvage business alone in America) and we

were solely focused on the U.S. Most other (salvage companies) are

not diversified, they’re just waiting for another accident to happen.”

The rebranding is far more than skin deep – designed foremost to

ensure the company’s viability in good times and bad – with the repo-

sitioning of the three brands under their new corporate identities. In

the new order, for example, Resolve Salvage and Firefighting

Training will not only maintain its position as a salvage company

offering FiFi training, but it expands its focus worldwide.

The firefighting training portion of the Resolve program holds spe-

cial meaning for Farrell, as he views it as not only a static training

ABOVE: Resolve Marine is unique in that it is a salvage company with its own DNV-approved firefighting training school, a populareducational stop for the local cruise industry, the port and Resolve’s own employees. In addition, the company sends out ‘striketeams’ to work onboard new cruise ships to train crews globally. Since its inception, the school has trained more than 16,000mariners.

as one of the watershed events in his career. According to Farrell,

when the government got hands-on with casualties, it immediatelyand radically changed the role of the salvor, as both the quantity and

rigor of rules and regulations rose sharply, and in addition there were

now many more opinions to consider.

The event was pivotal, and Farrell weighed the pros and cons of

staying in the business for the long haul. “When the government got

involved – and believe me, it is for the benefit now – it was a major

stumbling block from a procedural standpoint,” he said.

But the decision was made to stay, and stay and prosper Farrell and

Resolve Marine did. He specifically sought to add new hires to the

staff that were onboard the Resolve team to specifically ensure that

the company kept in abreast of and in compliance with evolving gov-

ernment rules and regulations, and today the company sits as a leader

in salvage and training technology and technique.

The enactment of OPA-90 also made it clear to Farrell that respon-

ders to oil tanker casualty response may be confronted with fighting

a shipboard fire, and this led directly to the company’s creation of in-

house firefighting strike teams and its ubiquitous firefighting educa-

tion and training center.

Fuel Removal from Capsized Vessel

Salvage crews from Resolve MarineGroup, Inc. have begun recov-

ery work this week on the iron ore carrying vessel Black Rose which

sank last month in the Bay of Bengal, India. Resolve’s team was

awarded the tender by the Paradip Port Trust and will be pumping

some 925 tons of fuel oil and 50 tons of diesel oil, as reported by offi-

cials, from the stricken ship which sank with the loss of one life 5km

off the Paradip coastline on September 9, 2009.The accident spot is close to the Gahirmatha marine sanctuary, one

of the world’s few remaining nesting sites for the endangered Olive

Ridley sea turtles. The Mongolian flagged vessel was carrying about

25,000 tons of iron ore fines as well as 975 tons of fuel oil and diesel

oil, which is believed to be secure within a double bottom tank.

Resolve has dispatched a team of seven personnel to complete the

task and will utilize local dive resources when possible. The team

arrived last week and is already well underway as of this week. This

team consists of a select group of salvage masters, engineers, and

commercial divers who were chosen for their familiarity with this

environmentally delicate project. Furthermore, due to the environ-

mentally sensitive nature of this project, the proximity to the nature

preserve, and the highly flammable contents being removed, Resolveis doing everything in its power to assure that proper precautions are

taken. The most environmentally friendly & proven techniques are

being utilized and the pollutants will be removed in the most expedi-

tious timeframe possible. Resolve anticipates that the project will last

approximately four to six weeks barring any unforeseen setbacks.

Resolve’s project scope entails the removal of the fuel oil and diesel

oil from the vessels tanks only. The capsized condition of the vessel

and the remaining 25,000 tons of iron ore prevent the vessel from

being refloated and will be treated as a wreck removal. The wreck

removal will be a separate project that Resolve hopes to be tasked

with given their familiarity with this project thus far.

Resolve Marine Timeline

1980Company formed by Joseph E. Farrell Jr., focusing initial efforts onthe upper Caribbean Islands.

1988Hired to consecutively refloat four deep-draft vessels which were driv-en aground by a hurricane.

Early 90’s to presentExpanded client base by providing emergency response services tooil and chemical tankers regulated under OPA-90.

1994-2009

Resolve Fire & Hazard Response, Inc. was created to operate a ship-board firefighting training facility in the heart of Port Everglades

June 2002LSD SPIEGEL GROVE -Key Largo, FL; Artificial Reefing - Ex US Navyvessel capsized while being sunk for an artificial reef off Key Largo,Florida. RESOLVE mobilized salvage team, salvage vessel and equip-ment. By inducing 2,500 tons of air into the port side of the vessel,attaching 500 tons of airlift bags and by using 2 tugs RESOLVE wasable to successfully sink the vessel onto her starboard side.

May 2006Corpus Christi, Texas; Reefing - a 90' decommissioned US NavyEssex Class aircraft carrier. RESOLVE along with a partner company,accomplished the complete remediation of the vessel using a staff ofover 150 personnel. Work included accessing and cleaning over 500

tanks and the removal of a large quantity and variety of hazardousmaterials including lead paint, PCB's asbestos, etc. The RESOLVEteam towed the carrier to Pensacola, Florida where final preparationswere made by RESOLVE to sink the vessel off of Pensacola. Ex-Oriskany became an artificial reef on May 17, 2006.

2009Resolve rebrands, repositions for the future, focused on three majorareas: Resolve Salvage and Firefighting Response; Resolve MaritimeTraining Academy; and Resolve Marine Services.
