Donjon Marine has been continuously awarded the primary NAVSEA SUPSALV contract for salvage services in the Western Hemisphere since 1980.
The contract covers Zone A, which encompasses the North and South Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of America, the Mediterranean, the Black and Baltic Seas, and the Suez Canal, together with all harbors and navigable waters draining to the coast within these areas — including the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes.
The award positions Donjon as a key commercial partner supporting the U.S. Navy’s global salvage, diving, towing, and search-and-recovery capabilities, reinforcing the company’s long-standing role in maritime info@donjon.comy response and ocean engineering services.
“This award is a testament to Donjon’s proven expertise and readiness to support critical Navy missions around the world,” said Donjon CEO John A. Witte. “We are proud to continue our partnership with NAVSEA and SUPSALV in delivering the highest level of salvage and marine services wherever and whenever they are needed.”
