The Pacific Rim Response Center (PRRC), offering the collaborative services of three long-standing Alaska
businesses, is based in Kodiak to provide maritime resources and spill response to the underserved region of Western Alaska.
Kodiak, AK; April 21, 2021 -
Kodiak is now home to the Pacific Rim Response Center
(PRRC), a facility that serves as a hub for a comprehensive suite of
maritime resources providing vessel support, marine
casualty response, and oil and hazardous spill response. The PRRC was
established as a collaboration between Paradigm Marine and strategic
partners Alaska Chadux̂ Network (Chadux̂) and Global Diving &
Salvage (Global), providing one consolidated location for
a range of resources to serve the Western Alaska maritime industry.
With personnel and assets staged in Kodiak, the region is better served
with Paradigm’s expansive marine construction and vessel fleet along
with Chadux̂’s vast inventory of oil spill response resources, and
Global’s extensive commercial diving, marine casualty
response and construction capabilities. Located near the only
year-round all-weather airport in the Gulf of Alaska that can handle
both commercial and cargo aircraft, the PRRC features 600’ of deep-water
dock space, office facilities and a large, secure equipment
staging and storage yard.
“Kodiak has always been a critical hub to access the Gulf of Alaska,
Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands” said Sully Sutherlin, President
of Paradigm Marine. “The Pacific Rim Response Center underscores this
and will help empower the support resources in
that region. Our facility is not only in an important strategic
location; it now includes three critical service providers with
extensive Alaskan experience.”
Buddy Custard, Alaska Chadux̂ Network President / CEO, added, “We have
had a response hub in Kodiak for over 10 years. Establishing the PRRC is
a key part of our strategic buildout for our clients throughout Western
Alaska, allowing us to collocate additional
oil spill response resources.”
Furthering the capabilities of the team, Global will stage marine
casualty response and commercial diving equipment at the PRRC, allowing
diving and salvage teams to provide support on short notice. “We have
always looked for the right time to establish a footprint
in Kodiak,” said Deidre Coots, Global’s Alaska Manager. “We are excited
to be part of this experienced team that serves both the planned and
unplanned needs of the maritime community throughout Western Alaska.”
“All three of our companies provide valuable maritime services and
response capabilities throughout Alaska, 24/7/365. By aligning our
resources through the new Pacific Rim Response Center, we will serve
Western Alaska better and faster than ever before,” added
Sutherlin.
