AbstractThe Salvage and Marine Operations Integrated Project Team (S&MO IPT) is the principal authority in the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) charged with providing Salvage, Blue Water Towing, Specialist Moorings, and Heavy Lift Expertise to the UK Armed Forces. It has recently become the MoD center of expertise for In Water Maintenance & Repair (IWMAR).

A unique partnering of industry and the UK MoD has led to the expansion of waterborne and underwater maintenance, providing the Royal Navy (RN) with significant opportunities for cost reduction, increased periods between dockings and enhanced platform availability.
