Donjon Marine's 1,000-ton-capacity derrick barge the Chesapeake 1000, the largest floating crane on the East coast, performs salvage work in Venice, Louisiana, in support of the Katrina and Rita Hurricanes Response. Shown here, the crane is lifting 85-foot fishing boats displaced by the hurricane.




While Donjon is the lead Salvage Contractor for the Katrina Response as a result of its U.S. Navy Salvage and Related Services Contract, the company has contracted numerous American Salvage Association (ASA) and non-ASA Marine Salvors in support of the overall response. ASA members T&T Marine, Resolve Marine, Bisso Marine, and Titan Maritime, as well as myriad others, continue to support the region as salvage subcontractors to Donjon.
