MV Leander

MMC Divers got the emergency call out to attend the vessel. Upon the initial underwater survey being undertaken it was clear the chain had to be cut underwater. There was a high risk of the weight & chain plummeting to the seabed dragging the diver down or of the steel buoy being launched skywards again putting the diver at risk.
A full site specific risk assessment and method statement was put together with zero risk to the diver. The team loaded, ran up and tested all the plant and equipment through the night and cleared the obstruction in the very narrow tidal window the following morning retrieving the buoy and weight for repair.
