The American Salvage Association has elected Tim Beaver, chief executive officer of Global Diving & Salvage, Inc., to president.
Beaver succeeds Mauricio Garrido, who served as president from 2009-2011.
Paul Hankins at Donjon-SMIT was elected vice president of the association, while Todd Schauer of Resolve Marine Group will be secretary/treasurer.
“This year and beyond, ASA will remain focused on the OPA 90 salvage and marine firefighting regulations for tank vessels, pending regulations for non-tank vessels, responder immunity, Arctic response, the ongoing Quality Partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as continuing to strengthen our industry’s commitment to the marine environment,” Beaver said.
