Husky Salvage and Towing provides 24-hour commercial marine assistance. Based at Nanny Cay in the BVI, Husky has a huge inventory of marine salvage and related equipment, and has developed an excellent reputation with surveyors, underwriters and charter companies throughout the Caribbean.
Over the last 23 years Husky has been involved as sub-contractors with major marine and shore based infrastructure projects in the BVI. Including major marina projects, the cruise ship pier, the Beef Island airport runway extension, laying mooring fields, pipeline installations and cable laying.
With prompt emergency response being our prime focus, Husky crew are on standby and endeavor to monitor channel 16, 24 hours a day. We can also be reached by cell phone at any time of day and night. Our fleet of 3 main vessels are maintained and checked daily, and are always on the ready for a fast response. We are strategically based in Nanny Cay, Tortola, at a central point to all of the BVI.
Husky Salvage & Towing has over a million dollars of equipment and vessels that have been purchased, modified, customised, licensed and maintained for the primary purpose of prompt, efficient responses to save vessels and property.
Husky Salvage & Towing works very closely with US Coastguard and Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR). Kevin Rowlette was on the founding committee of VISAR and still maintains a close day-to-day relationship, participating whenever required in life-saving situations and provides services if necessary. We have been involved voluntarily with countless shoreline, open water and underwater searches. We also work alongside local government agencies: customs, police, conservation and the BVI government marine services department.
Husky Salvage & Towing has worked from one end of the Caribbean to the other, and participated in hurricane clean up in Cuba, St. Marteen, Puerto Rico, USVI, BVI and Grenada. We have a long-standing reputation with local companies for our fair approach to billing, and insurance companies frequently retain Kevin Rowlette as a consultant in other areas of the Caribbean.
