A working base on the water

Our ocean-going vessels and crew support recovery, salvage and marine projects around New Zealand, with the deck space and power to carry what the job needs.

Whether you need an operations base for a project offshore or a platform to recover something from the water or shoreline, we supply the vessel, the crew and the resources to get it done.

Support and salvage with McCallum Bros

1An operations base on the water+
Our vessels work as support vessels and operations bases for a range of marine projects, supplying the resources each job needs.
2Recovery and salvage support+
When something needs recovering from the water or the shoreline, our vessels and crew provide the platform, lifting and transport to get it done. The same deck space and power that make our vessels a good operations base make them well suited to salvage work.
3Room to work+
Wide, open decks give you space for equipment, containers, materials and crew, so the job can be run from the vessel itself.
4Power where you need it+
On-board generators supply electrical power for pumps, lighting, tools and other support equipment, with no need to bring your own.
5Experienced, local crew+
Our crews know New Zealand’s coastline and conditions, and work alongside your team to keep the project moving safely.
6Proven on the Rena salvage+
Our vessels provided support capability for the salvage of the Rena in Tauranga, one of New Zealand’s largest maritime recovery operations.

McCallum Bros vessels and maritime personnel operate under a comprehensive and effective Safe Ship Management System, and we hold biosecurity certification for our marine operations.
