Cashman Equipment Corp. is proud to be a member of American Salvage Association and to assist the salvage community in restoring operations in the Baltimore Harbor.

American Salvage Association member companies have once again come together in a time of national need to support, work and resolve a high-profile salvage operation. In Baltimore, Maryland, USA, member companies Northstar Marine Inc, Resolve Marine, McAllister Towing, Stasinos Marine LLC, Phoenix International Holdings, Inc., Glosten, Weeks Marine, Inc. Reed Maritime, LLC,  Ambipar Response I United States (Witt O'Brien's), Dann Ocean Towing, Inc. Cashman Equipment Corp., and T&T SALVAGE LLC are working under the U.S. Coast Guard Unified Command to open the Baltimore harbor and restore normal operations to one of America's busiest ports.

We've come together before - from the Deepwater Horizon well blowout to Hurricane Katrina to the Lahaina Harbor fire in Maui, and many others. Members of the ASA join and support communities, environmental disasters and emergencies in the Americas and the Caribbean.

The salvage industry is getting unprecedented media coverage that is raising awareness of the highly technical nature of our work. Last week, The U.S. Secretary of Transportation mentioned the importance of salvage operations in a White House press briefing.

ASA and its members, under the direction and coordination of the Naval Sea Systems Command {NAVSEA), are working together as one combined government-industry team. Together, we are proud to ensure the safety of first responders and the protection of the environment while working to urgently re-open this critical waterway, vital to the nation's economy. As recovery operations progress, the cooperation of our essential maritime salvage partners will once again demonstrate the tremendous benefit that this niche industry brings to the nation.

Cashman Equipment Corp. was contracted by Sarens USA in September 2020 to charter two 250’ Class ABS deck barges, the JMC 256 and JMC 259, to support the removal of the Green Crane at Newport News Shipyard (NNS).  Sarens USA was awarded this Contract in July 2019.  NNS is dedicated to the US Navy providing maintenance support, as well as building new Air Craft Carriers and submarines for the Navy.

Crane 32400 – which is the official name - has a span of 440 feet, an estimated weight of 2,500 MTons, and a lifting capacity of 300 mTons. The crane was erected in the 1960s, and was still in limited use today, mainly to refuel the Ford-Class Aircraft carriers.

Preparations for the removal began in March 2020.  Despite challenges related to the COVID pandemic and bad weather caused by Hurricane Laura, both leg sections, followed by the main girder, were lowered to the barges without issue.  Loading of these sections was completed by a unique system developed by Sarens USA – a combination of a load spreading beam system and a free standing 8-tower set-up, in combination with the Sarens Climbing Tower (SCT) on a 24-meter tall base of the SMLT 5800 (Sarens Multi Lift Towers).  The towers were then topped off with 8 strand jacks of 450T.

Once the crane sections were secured to the barges they were transported upriver to be offloaded, and eventually scrapped.

Cashman Equipment Corp. is proud to have partnered with Sarens USA on this project in supporting the Newport News Shipyard, & US Navy.

In October 2008 Cashman Equipment Corp. (CEC) was contracted by Ersai to design, construct, deliver and operate two Floatels. Each vessel was required to provide a minimum POB of 250.  The vessels were required to be fully autonomous for a minimum of 12 days on location. Cashman constructed 90% of both vessels in Amelia, Louisiana. This work took place between November 2008 and April 2009. Once the work was completed in Amelia, Louisiana, the vessels were transported via Heavy Lift ship into the Black Sea where they were offloaded.
