From Marine Emergency Response and Disabled Vessel Recovery to Wreck Removal, our team brings together the specialists and equipment needed to protect the marine environment and responsibly remediate damaged property.
When the MV Miner ran aground on Scaterie Island (a protected wilderness area off Cape Breton Island) RJMI responded to the Province of Nova Scotia’s call for a full wreck removal. After two failed salvage attempts by the ship’s owner, RJMI safely extracted 26,000 litres of undiscovered diesel fuel and completed a full environmental cleanup.
Restoring Scaterie Island
Following the removal of the MV Miner, the site was fully restored with no trace of the wreck remaining by June 2015.
