On Sunday 9th May 2010, we dispatched salvage tug "MEGAS ALEXANDROS" from her Piraeus salvage station, to the assistance of Motor Vessel "EAST EXPRESS" (GRT 3,504, DWT 3,126), laden with 2,149 MT of MDF, disabled about 40 miles Southwest of Kasteli, Crete.
On the 5th May 2010 we were advised by the owners/managers of vessel Motor Vessel “MONICA P” (GRT 27,011, DWT 46,667), that she had run aground at the mouth of the Amazon River (canal norte of Rio Amazonas), approximately 45 miles from Macapa, and required professional assistance.
Members of Young Shipping Professionals (YSP) gathered aboard TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE'S “MEGAS ALEXANDROS” last week for what was a highly educational and somewhat “alternative” event. YSP Greece was established in 2006 to bring together the next generation of shipping professionals, predominantly through regular social gatherings.
