Maritime Asset
Recovery & Emergency Relocation
24/7 Emergency Response Across Southwest Florida
When a vessel runs aground, sustains hurricane damage, or faces an emergency that threatens its safety, every hour counts. Black Wing Global Logistics provides 24/7 maritime asset recovery services across Southwest Florida.
We work directly with yacht owners, captains, marinas, shipyards, insurance companies, adjusters, and marine surveyors. This isn't general towing. This is high-value asset recovery performed by a team that understands what's at stake.
Storm Damage Recovery & Hurricane Response
Southwest Florida knows hurricanes. When a major storm hits, marinas are flooded, vessels are displaced, and owners are scrambling to locate and recover their boats. Black Wing deploys immediately — before, during, and after storm events — to relocate at-risk vessels and recover those that have been damaged or displaced.
Our storm response services include pre-storm vessel relocation to inland or protected staging areas, post-storm damage assessment coordination, and recovery of vessels that have been grounded, partially submerged, or displaced by surge and wind.
- Pre-hurricane vessel relocation and evacuation transport
- Post-storm vessel recovery from land, shallow water, and seawalls
- Marina and canal debris clearing coordination
- Displaced vessel identification and owner reunification support
- Insurance adjuster and marine surveyor coordination
Emergency Vessel Recovery & Salvage Support
Not all maritime emergencies involve hurricanes. Groundings, collisions, mechanical casualties, and dock failures can happen any time. Black Wing provides year-round emergency vessel recovery with 24/7 dispatch for situations that require immediate action.
We assess the situation, determine the safest extraction method, and execute the recovery with the right equipment for the vessel size and condition. Our goal is always to minimize further damage and get your vessel to a secure location as quickly as possible.
- Grounding recovery — sand bars, shoals, and shallow water
- Collision and casualty vessel extraction
- Dock and seawall failure response
- Sinking and partial submersion recovery coordination
- Secure transport to repair yards, dry docks, or storage
Insurance Company & Adjuster Coordination
Black Wing works regularly with marine insurance carriers and independent adjusters on vessel recovery claims. We understand the documentation requirements, the chain of custody protocols, and the communication standards that insurance professionals expect.
When you or your insurer calls us, we provide detailed documentation of the recovery process including timestamps, photographs, condition assessments, and transport records. This streamlines the claims process and protects all parties.
- Direct coordination with marine insurance carriers
- Adjuster-ready documentation and photo records
- Chain of custody management from recovery to storage
- Transport to insurer-approved repair facilities
- Salvage and total loss vessel removal
Pre-Storm Vessel Relocation & Evacuation
The best recovery is the one you never need. Black Wing offers pre-storm vessel relocation services for yacht owners, marinas, and dealers who want to move at-risk vessels to protected locations before a hurricane or tropical storm makes landfall.
We monitor weather developments and proactively reach out to existing clients when conditions warrant action. For new clients, we're available by phone 24/7 during storm season to coordinate emergency evacuations on short notice.
- Relocation from coastal marinas to inland staging areas
- Haul-out and overland transport to secure storage
- Fleet evacuation services for marinas and dealers
- Storm preparation support — tie-down, shrink wrap, cradle
