Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Deep-Energy

A collaborative response team comprising the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, Canadian Coast Guard, and OceanGate Expeditions is actively engaged in the search for the submersible 'Titan', which went missing on June 18, 2023. This 21-foot vessel, launched from the research ship 'Polar Prince', was on an expedition to explore the RMS Titanic wreck, located approximately 900 nautical miles east of Cape Cod. As of the morning of June 20, search operations have covered about 10,000 square miles, buoyed by improved weather and visibility conditions. The Bahamian research ship 'Deep Energy' played a pivotal role by arriving at the search location around 7 a.m. EDT and commencing operations with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Additionally, a C-130 aircraft from the Air National Guard 106th joined the effort, conducting aerial searches from 4 p.m. EDT onwards. Moreover, several maritime assets are actively en route to assist, including the Canadian vessels CGS John Cabot, CGS Ann Harvey, CGS Terry Fox, and CGS Atlantic Merlin (ROV), along with m/v Horizon Arctic, m/v Skandi Vinland (ROV), the French research ship L’Atalante (ROV), and HMS Glace Bay, which is equipped with a mobile decompression chamber and medical personnel for emergencies. The initial alarm was raised at 5:40 p.m. EDT on June 18 when the Coast Guard received a report concerning the overdue submersible that was expected to resurface at 3 p.m. after its deployment at 8 a.m. Unfortunately, contact was lost just an hour and 45 minutes into the dive. The U.S. Coast Guard continues to coordinate with international partners to leverage all available resources in this crucial search effort.

In a dramatic operation on February 16, 2016, the cable-laying vessel "Deep Energy" played a crucial role in rescuing a Russian sailor who had run aground near the Skerryvore Lighthouse, off the picturesque west coast of Scotland, close to the Isle of Tiree. The rescue unfolded just after midnight when the coastguard received an urgent mayday call from the stranded yachtsman. The Islay lifeboat arrived on the scene at approximately 3:30 a.m., followed by assistance from a vessel from Barra. High winds, gusting to severe gale force, coupled with tumultuous seas, presented significant challenges to the rescue teams. Despite efforts to attach a line to the yacht, the rescue crews struggled against the extreme conditions. To provide necessary shelter from the inclement weather, the "Deep Energy" was summoned to the site. Ultimately, the sailor, aged 35, was airlifted to safety but was subsequently apprehended and taken into police custody in relation to an international arrest warrant.
