H2O purifying plant for Bahamas

Resolve Marine Group has assembled and launched a critical response barge that has transported a water purifying plant to Freeport that can produce 5,000 gallons of potable water per day. The need was met following Hurricane Dorian hitting the islands. The plant system consists of three reverse-osmosis water purifiers. It left from Port Everglades, Fla., and arrived in Freeport Harbor where RMG is planning assembly operations. The ability to send the relief barge directly to Freeport harbor is a result of the firm’s 24-hour Hurricane Dorian response team. While Dorian was still active, RMG and its partners activated a vessel and hydrographic survey team. Resolve plans to continue operating throughout the Bahamas chain in support of relief efforts wherever feasible. Resolve Marine Group’s humanitarian subsidiary, Mission Resolve, has already provided resources for humanitarian support, according to Joe Farrell Jr., president/CEO.
