Fort Lauderdale, FL – Resolve Marine Group Inc. and its  Resolve Salvage & Fire (Asia) Pte Ltd. subsidiary have announced that wreck removal operations at Kankesanthurai (KKS) Harbor in northern Sri Lanka have been completed. Retained by the Government of India/Shipping Corporation of India, and working on site in cooperation with the Government of Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan Navy since June, 2011, Resolve crews undertook the mapping, removal and disposition of ten vessels, which were sunk during the LTTE conflict between 1994 and 2000. The wrecks, lying outside and within the port, had obstructed safe navigation in the area and effectively prevented commercial shipping activity since that time.
