Vessels
We own and operate a diverse fleet of vessels to accommodate a variety of customer needs. Our vessels can support diving and salvage related projects along with environmental clean-up, protection, and other marine service needs. Although many of the vessels are intended for specific purposes, most can be used for alternative needs, depending on the demand of the job.
Our fleet ranges in size from small skiffs to large landing crafts, and dive-support vessels capable of operating in harsh environments such as Cook Inlet in Alaska. We also maintain a few select barges as diving platforms, which are available should a project require a larger work area.
The Archie is a 26' all steel single deck flat forward and aft, single oil screw yard assist tug with square bow, straight sided hull and square stern that offers unique capabilities to the diving industry. Its flat deck acts as a worthy working platform for dive and salvage operations in the marine industry and its background still allows Global to entertain inner harbor work with a tug boat. The vessel is fitted with one steel mast supporting navigation lights and air horns, and keeps an engine driven air compressor and a single hydraulic pump stored within its hull. The deck house is two levels of welded steel construction and has a pilot house with no staterooms, galley mess area or crew head and is considered a day boat only. It is moored in Seattle, WA.
Although it was initially intended for oil spill recovery, once Global acquired the all aluminum 40' vessel named the Auklet, its oil skimming capabilities were removed and the vessel was transitioned to meet the needs of the marine construction and diving industry. Powered by one twin screw hydraulic propulsion motor, the Auklet’s large raised mesh deck serves as a near perfect working platform for diving and salvage operations. It is moored in Seattle, WA.
Global also owns a 36' fiberglass work scow dubbed the ‘Loon’ that is similar in its dive related setup as the Munson vessel. Its flat bottom and fully operational bow ramp allow it to work safely in shallow waters and increase diversity for emergency spills and shore related work. The Loon is powered by two 115 horsepower 4 stroke outboards attached to pipe racks and mounted directly to the transom. Ordinarily the Loon is set up with a dive compressor, dive umbilical hoses, standby air cylinders and other related dive equipment. It is moored in Tacoma, WA.
The 38' aluminum Munson is primarily a diving support vessel. Since its initial purchase, the vessel has been meticulously upgraded with twin 150 horsepower 4 stroke motors, new navigation and communication instruments, aluminum dive hose racks, gear storage lockers and extensive updates to the electrical and lighting systems to name a few. The vessel regularly has a dive compressor, dive umbilical hoses, standby air cylinders and other equipment on deck to respond to daily dive related work needs. The vessel is moored in Seattle, WA
The Ocean Carrier is the newest addition to Stabbert Maritime’s Ocean Services fleet. At 270 ft of length the Ocean Carrier is a true multifunctional platform. Currently the Ocean Carrier is outfitted with DPII, 150T heave compensated crane, and an 10-man saturation dive package. The Ocean Carrier makes a positive contribution to any offshore maritime project.
The Sand Island is an 80' by 25' wide dive support vessel. It berths 12 people. The vessel is powered by twin Cummins engines with a combined 610hp. It has the capacity to make efficient crossings in the Cook Inlet Basin against extreme tidal currents. This allows shorter run times between tasks and can reduce expense travel times.
The vessel also supports a deep diving air system and hydraulic tool support. It has enough deck space to support additional equipment within reason.
Amidst Global’s larger vessels there are also vessels variously smaller in size. These aluminum, steel, and fiberglass boats are employed on the more daily activities surrounding the diving, salvage, and environmental industries. A majority of the smaller aluminum vessels are dedicated to spill response booming contracts such as the fleet of 14’ skiffs, the 16’ Tuff boats, or the 17’ Eaglecraft. Additionally, Global owns three fiberglass Boston Whalers varying in size that are general purpose oil booming boats but all fully capable of shifting to dive and salvage vessels.
Originally built as a landing craft and utility vessel for use on the North Slope of Alaska to transport cargo and equipment into shallow waters, the 62’ twin engine Prudhoe Bay was completely retro-fitted in 2008. It is regularly employed for diving and salvage work but has also met the needs of marine drilling operations amongst other job specific requirements. The Prudhoe Bay has a Gateway 5-ton four function deck crane on a raised pedestal in which the boom was removed in 2008 and sent in for a complete rebuild. The deck is equipped with two winches specifically for raising and lowering the I-beam supported and expanded metal bow ramp. The bow ramp allows for shallow water landings and added deck space when in the lowered position. Also on deck are four pneumatic anchor winches with localized controls to keep the vessel positioned while moored. In addition to other deck related equipment, the Prudhoe Bay is accompanied by an 18’ aluminum outboard support boat as well as a surface control van for diving operations. The vessel in moored in Seattle, WA.
Used predominantly for Tesoro Pre-boom operations, the 32 foot Steadfast is a multifaceted combination work boat. With a wide open back deck and stern, she is well suited for anchor handling, boom towing and maintenance. A 6kw Northern Lights generator provides 110v power for 7 sodium floodlights allowing for nighttime operations. Steadfast is powered by a 440hp Lugger main engine which in addition to propulsion, also drives continuous flow hydraulics at 30gpm. A 10” Naiad Bow thruster allows for superior maneuverability. Steadfast has a full compliment of wheelhouse electronics as well as wireless internet.
