JMS And Weeks Marine

Provide Salvage Response

Jamestown Marine Services Inc. (JMS) responded to a request for salvage advice and assistance from the Providence Marine Safety Of- fice for help with the 1\W Chiara, which had struck bottom in

Buzzard's Bay.

Chiara holed two empty fuel tanks and assumed a 15-degree list, and was intentionally grounded to avoid sinking during one of the worst northeastern storms in decades.

JMS, which reported to the com- mand center the Coast Guard set up at the Massachusetts Maritime

Academy, provided salvage advice and analysis.

Using HECSALV, a computer- based program for damaged vessel stability and strength calculations,

JMS provided an assessment of the ship's condition, including ground reaction estimates, stability assess- ments, and the probability of the ship refloating and possibly regrounding during the storm.

On the advice of JMS, the vessel's agent retained Weeks Marine, Inc., which dispatched a 4,000-hp sal- vage tug from New York City. The

Thomas was granted special per- mission from the Coast Guard to get underway, because the Port of New

York had been closed by the storm.
