Husky Salvage and Towing has been in operation in the BVI since 1989. We have an expansive amount of equipment and vessels that have been purchased, modified, customized, prepared and maintained for the primary purpose of prompt, efficient responses to save vessels and property. Our staff, vessels, and equipment can be deployed immediately for emergencies at sea. Our location at Nanny Cay Marina on Tortola, means we are centrally located to all the Virgin Islands which allows for a quick response, wherever we are needed.
Over the last 35 years Husky has been involved as sub-contractors with major marine and shore based infrastructure projects in the BVI. These include major marina projects, the cruise ship pier, the Beef Island airport runway extension, laying mooring fields, pipeline installations and cable laying.
Husky Salvage & Towing works very closely with the US Coast Guard and Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR). Kevin Rowlette was on the founding committee of VISAR and still maintains a close day-to-day relationship, participating whenever required in life-saving situations and provides services if necessary. We also work closely with local government agencies: Customs, Police, Conservation and the BVI Government Marine Services Department.
Husky Salvage & Towing has worked from one end of the Caribbean to the other, and participated in hurricane clean up in Cuba, St. Marteen, Puerto Rico, USVI, BVI and Grenada. With over 40 years of life and work throughout the Caribbean, Husky has industry contacts on almost every island.
We’ve earned an excellent reputation and pride ourselves that through a fair approach to business we have steered clear of lawsuits and courtrooms. We hope to maintain our unblemished record, it is a record we are proud of due to this business which is unusual in its nature. It is because of this reputation that Kevin Rowlette has been asked by insurance companies to work in other areas of the Caribbean on a consultancy level.
