Following the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010 , the '' Grasp '' was staffed with a team of structural engineers from the US Army Corps of Engineers and dispatched on 16 January 2010 to the country 's devastated seaport in Port-au-Prince as part of Operation Unified Response to assess for and complete emergency structural repairs so that large military and civilian cargo vessels may unload their rescue aid shipments more efficiently
