The 1-Call Alaska Difference is Prevention and Early Intervention.
Resolve Marine’s 1-Call Alaska division delivers a fully integrated Western Alaska Alternative Planning Criteria (APC) program and State spill response coverage for vessels operating in Western Alaska and the Prince William Sound Captain of the Port (COTP) zones. As a U.S. Coast Guard-recognized Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) and Salvage and Marine Firefighting (SMFF) provider, 1-Call Alaska brings more than 45 years of Alaska-specific operational experience to one of the world’s most challenging maritime environments.
Alaska’s immense geographic scale, subarctic climate, powerful ocean currents, high winds, limited infrastructure, and environmentally sensitive marine habitats demand more than baseline compliance. It requires early intervention, real-time situational awareness, and response capabilities rooted in salvage, marine engineering, and source control, well before an incident escalates into a spill.
1-Call Alaska is uniquely positioned to deliver that outcome. Our program is built on prevention first, supported by continuous vessel monitoring, rapid assessment, and immediate access to response assets. When a spill does occur, our Alaska operations are equipped with owned and maintained recovery vessels, a 21,500-barrel oil recovery tank barge, skimmers, boom, sorbents, and aerial and ocean-going assets to support effective on-water recovery.

Prevention Through Monitoring & Early Intervention
A defining feature of the Resolve 1-Call Alaska program is continuous vessel voyage monitoring for ships greater than 400 GT transiting the Alaskan EEZ. Routing deviations due to weather, speed changes, or operational anomalies are closely monitored in real time.
Our in-house duty officers, operating from Resolve’s emergency call and vessel tracking center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, use proprietary AIS-based monitoring tools combined with geo-fencing algorithms to maintain situational awareness of every enrolled vessel and ensure immediate response to identified anomalies. Real-time communications include vessel status, route plans, fuel quantities, and risk indicators, allowing assistance to be mobilized before a situation deteriorates.
The Resolve 1-Call Alaska Difference
Most spill response programs activate only after oil reaches the water. The Resolve 1-Call Alaska program is designed to prevent that moment whenever possible, leveraging salvage expertise, engineering assessment, marine firefighting readiness, and early intervention to reduce environmental impact and financial exposure.
When prevention is no longer possible, our Alaska-based depots, owned equipment, and trusted response partners ensure that resources are deployed immediately, decisively, and in alignment with both federal and state requirements. Backstopped by Resolve Aviation, 1-Call Alaska has dedicated access to a company-owned Pilatus PC-12 aircraft for rapid deployment of fly-away environmental response kits uniquely designed for remote operations in resource-limited, rural Alaska. Additionally, when needed, our global logistics network provides cascading resources from environmental warehouses around the world, ensuring a comprehensive response unmatched in Alaska.
