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.

Salvage crews working at the site of the wrecked liftboat Seacor Power, which capsized April 13 off the coast of Louisiana, have completed the task of removing fuel from the vessel. In all, crews removed just over 20,300 gallons of diesel fuel.
With the vessel still overturned and partially submerged, salvage crews had to drill into the vessel’s fuel tanks, make a hose connection, then pump fuel into portable tanks.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, about 4,500 gallons of hydraulic fluid remains on the Seacor Power, but the fluid is inaccessible. Hydraulic fluid tanks have not been compromised, the Coast Guard said, and the hydraulic fluid will remain in place until the Seacor Power is raised.
