While Xenos Marine is a relatively new name in the Gulf of America salvage and decommissioning market, it’s a new name with some familiar faces. Matt Fish, MD, Xenos Marine has partnered with Kevin Teichman and T&T Salvage to tackle the growing need for offshore structure decommissioning work. The workhorse of the fleet will be the recently reinvigorated TX-10000, a unique heavy lift asset that was originally built as the VB 10000 for Versabar, and participated for more than a year in one of the country’s largest and most challenging salvage projects ever: the cutting apart and raising of the Golden Ray, a nearly 700-ft. long car carrier that flipped in the St. Simons Sound near Georgia's Port of Brunswick in September 2019.
