I doubt the UN have an operational arm ready to spring into action at the drop of a blue beret. I don't have a clue how it does work but imagine they will co-opt a commercial concern under the management of a member state (and I might well exclude the UK. SOSREP's salvage of Napoli was an excellent example with Robin Middleton himself leading the team, I have had experience of another team, still in 'his time' and was less than impressed). Perhaps the USCG has a 'standing' ability but commercial salvors would surely have the stomach to go immediately providing the money is on the table. Anyone know?
