TSAVLIRIS' buoyant activity for 2014 has continued through the 3rd quarter with two further LOF's, namely container vessel "CRILLON" and most recently bulk carrier "INCE INEBOLU" as well as towage services to bulk carrier "GOLDENSTAR". Moreover, as we go to press, TSAVLIRIS has been appointed to carry out salvage services to passenger vessel "EUROPALINK" which had struck rocks north east of Corfu Island, Ionian Sea, Greece.
“HELLAS LIBERTY" (ex SS Arthur M. Huddel) is a Liberty ship launched in 1943 which survived World War II. In 2008 she was transferred to Greece and after repairs she was converted into a maritime museum. Liberty ships represent the history of the resurgence of the Greek merchant shipping fleet following the end of the War. Tsavliris Salvage Group was involved in the towage of the ship from Norfolk, Virginia USA to Piraeus port.
Tsavliris Salvage is a member of the Club "Friends of Liberty" and in May 2014, Mr Nicolas A. Tsavliris, Principal of Tsavliris Salvage Group, became a Member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at the Association of Friends of the Museum Ship “HELLAS LIBERTY".
“HELLAS LIBERTY" always welcomes new memberships.
On Saturday 31st May we dispatched salvage tug "MEGAS ALEXANDROS", from her Piraeus salvage station, to the assistance of bulk carrier "TEKTONEOS" (25,899 GT, 43,620 DWT), fully laden with 39,000MT Sulpher in bulk, following engine room fire, about 150 nautical miles South West of Pylos, Greece.
