Marine Salvage Tools

 Based on earlier experience, and in compliance with the Polar Code requirements of being more independent of help from outside, Miko Marine with the operational guidance of Capt. Benny Didriksen, has developed a kit to potentially keep your vessel afloat and prevent it from sinking. The kit consists of the well known patented and DNV-GL qualified Magnetic Patches, Miko Plaster® and adequate flexible handling– and installation tools enabling subsea installation without divers or ROV’s. 

Collisions, groundings, explosions and valve failures all have the potential of uncontrolled water ingress. Deploying the Yacht Salve Kit in such a situation, the right patch is selected from the kit and rapidly deployed over the damaged area. Particularly intended for use on super yachts and smaller vessels, the kit contains Miko Marine’s well proven Miko plaster technology for keeping water on the outside and oil on the inside.

 FlexiShape Miko Plaster® is intended for repair of hull damages below the waterline from groundings or collisions. It is stapled to the hull using either the Underwater Fastener or the Miko Fix. The temporary and quick repair is carried out while the ship is afloat. 

 The patches are produced in Norway and standard sizes can delivered quickly to site in urgent situations. Standard sizes are available in the Salvage Kit together with supplementary tools for installation. Customized patches are supplied in any shape and size. 

 Used world-wide for marine salvage operations, the Salvage Kit is a proven concept for the temporary, quick and reliable repair of damage from groundings or collisions while the ship is afloat.

The FlexiShape Miko Plaster® which is included in the kit, is designed to overcome uneven steel surfaces, sharp edges and large areas of damage to the hull.

 Miko Fix® is a battery-powered fastening system for underwater drilling and fastening. The compact and versatile system can be used for a large variety of underwater tasks, including operations where hydraulics or pneumatics are normally required.

The underwater drill can be operated at water depths down to 50 m. The drill is equipped with a speed setting, rotational direction switch, LED lights and a torque setting with 16 steps. The drill and drill stand are supplied in a waterproof tool case.

 There are more than three million shipwrecks worldwide. Many of the sunken vessels contain oil and are in poor condition, representing a severe risk of pollution. Miko’s solution for oil removal from shipwrecks is offered to both governmental oil removal projects and to the salvage industry. The system is rapidly deployable and can be air-freighted anywhere on short notice.
