Crane operator is dedicated to ending the search

Sean Leet, the co-founder and Chair of Horizon Maritime Services – the firm supplying the crane – said he was dedicated to concluding the search.

Sean said: “Our equipment is on scene and is helping with the investigation as directed by the US Coast Guard. In addition to the Polar Prince, we have mobilised the Horizon Arctic to add vessel support for this mission.

“The people on board the Titan and their families are our focus, we care deeply about their well-being. Our critical role remains in a support capacity.

“The Polar Prince, a 236ft vessel, remains at the Titanic site participating in rescue efforts. The Horizon Arctic is also involved in this mission, which is one of the most powerful and versatile offshore support vessels in the world.

“Late last night, the Arctic crew loaded a US ROV – the vessel then departed the port at St Johns at 5am this morning to arrive at the Titanic site tomorrow morning.

“We are very aware of the time sensitivity around this mission.”
