In early April, Phoenix mobilized a team of commercial divers to Pascagoula, Mississippi, to assess and repair damage to the vessel’s hull. Upon arrival, the team conducted a detailed underwater inspection to evaluate the extent of the damage and develop an effective repair plan.

The inspection identified multiple fractures on the vessel’s starboard forward hull. Working underwater, Phoenix divers performed repairs designed to prevent further damage and restore the vessel’s structural integrity following class-approved procedures. Throughout the operation, the team utilized underwater video systems and continuous communication with surface personnel to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

Following the completion of repairs, the damaged areas were sealed and protected from the marine environment. A final inspection confirmed the successful completion of the work, allowing the project to conclude safely and on schedule.

“This project demonstrates the experience, responsiveness, and professionalism of our diving team,” said David Lamon, Florida Area Manager for Phoenix International. “When vessel owners face unexpected damage, they need a partner who can mobilize quickly, assess the situation, and deliver reliable solutions. Our team worked safely and efficiently to complete the repairs and help get this vessel back on track.”
