With the Artemis I rocket’s successful unmanned launch in November 2022, NASA will now shift their focus to sending astronauts into space. As NASA continues preparations for a future manned mission, Compass Maritime will provide planning and support for recovery efforts of the rocket’s personnel capsule if the mission requires a mid-flight abortion and the capsule releases back to Earth. For a manned mission, the need for a solid response plan and quick action are more important than ever. Emergency Salvage Assistance When the M/V Ever Forward ran aground and required emergency salvage assistance, Compass Maritime negotiated all of the third-party tugs and barges to get the container vessel afloat. A lightering operation freed the grounded container vessel from blocking part of the Chesapeake Bay. Read More At CBS Read More At USA Today
