Captain Ian Tew spent ten years with Selco Salvage in Singapore travelling the seas and performing salvage operations from the UK coast to the South China Sea, from the Persian Gulf to the Southern Ocean. He worked in storm force winds as well as in tropical calms. In Salvage, he shares fascinating stories of places few men have ever visited and unique accounts of salvaging that few people have ever witnessed. As a roving salvage master, he was involved with salvaging Al Ahood. She had been hit by Iraqi fired Exocet missiles, set on fire and abandoned, and was said to be unsalvageable. This was the first commercial salvage to take place in a war zone.
