Nick Sloane, the man credited with the successful salvage of the Costa Concordia, has been recruited by Resolve Marine Group.
The Fort Lauderdale-headquartered salvor said Sloane will oversee operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The news comes just months after Resolve opened its operations in Gibraltar, expanding its emergency response capabilities to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Sloane joins the senior management team at Resolve to help guide the global growth of the company.
“Nick is a force in the industry and now that Resolve has a worldwide footprint, he is a natural fit,” said Joe Farrell, chief executive of Resolve Marine Group.
“He brings professionalism, innovation, and a stellar work ethic that never compromises his values – that’s exactly how we manage ourselves at Resolve.
“Sloane brings more than 34 years of experience to the organization, having overseen an extensive list of salvage and oil & gas projects across the globe including the Americas, Europe, Russia, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
“He was a member of the Lloyds Panel of Special Casualty Representatives and most recently served as the Senior Salvage Master of the Costa Concordia salvage operation.”
Resolve said its growth both in assets and personnel is part of its commitment to reinvest funds in order to better serve its clients.
“As one of a few global salvage companies that has remained family-owned and operated for more than 35 years, Resolve is not bound by shareholder interests,” it said.
“As such, it maintains a value-oriented culture with a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of both clients and staff at every stage of a job.”
