Ardent forms African joint venture

Durban: Ardent, the newly created salvage giant between Svitzer and Crowley, is launching a joint venture with South African diving and marine services company, Subtech.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnering with Ardent, a company with a global reputation for emergency response and wreck removal,” said Neil Scott Williams, director of salvage at Subtech and the general manager of the joint venture. Subtech is part of James Fisher and Sons.

The joint venture, Ardent Subtech, will be based out of Subtech’s existing Cape Town facility with supporting offices in Namibia, Mozambique and Mauritius.
