Marine Services

Resolve offers a variety of Marine Services to Gibraltar and Surrounding Areas.

Resolve Marine, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, FL is a global marine service provider. The acquisition of Steelmac and TP Towage Company of Gibraltar now provides Resolve clients and the marine community a strategic location to undergo a variety of marine services and in the case of an emergency, a skilled provider. Resolve’s Gibraltar location provides harbour towage, dive services, marine construction assistance, anchor and chain search and recovery operations, underwater assessments and inspections, to say a few.

In every location, and in each endeavor, Resolve teams strive to provide the most cost-effective, and efficient services to our clients.  We understand that our client’s time is valuable and maintain that understanding with every operation we undertake for them.

We are pleased to announce our recent investments in Gibraltar and are very excited about establishing a salvage station locally. Gibraltar’s strategic location, stable modern governance and thriving economy are many of the benefits we have identified during our decision process.
