HOUMA, La. â The unified command consisting of the Coast Guard and SEACOR updated family members of the crew on the status of salvage operations of SEACOR Power during a meeting in Houma, Wednesday.
Family members were provided with information from SEACOR and the contracted Donjon-SMIT salvage team on efforts to remove the vessel and what the potential timeline for that process is expected to be, according to a release from the Coast Guard.
Throughout the last week, contracted salvage crews have been removing obstructions from the seafloor around the partially sunken lift boat. Removal of the debris will make room for the equipment needed to raise vessel sections to the surface.

GEORGE TOWN: Politicians shouldn t manipulate those who do not have the facts or official records on how the old Penang ferries were retired in 2019, says former Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi. We should stand up for true facts, he said in a text message on Sunday (June 6), adding that criticism should be backed by fact-checking.
This comes after a cryptic post by the former DAP MP over the half-sunken ferry in the Prai River, which has raised eyebrows.
In his post, Ooi said that old politics has no place in the digital traceability of today. Let the better factual argument win the day, he said, sharing a claim by former finance minister Lim Guan Eng that it is saddening to see the dire condition of one of Penang s iconic ferries.
