The Institute of chartered shipbrokers, Greek branch, which has Nicholas A. Tsavliris as its chairman, Mr. George A. Tsavliris and Mr. Andreas A. Tsavliris are also fellows of the F.I.C.S (Fellowship Institute Chartered Shipbrokers) organized a celebratory forum in Athens with topic the "Changing Horizons".

Ten Lloyd's Open Form contracts in the last quarter of the year ensured that the TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE GROUP once again was the largest LOF contractor worldwide in 2005.

Tsavliris Group received a special award from the Hellenic Institute of Marine Technology (ELINT) for its contribution to shipping and the cultural wellbeing of Piraeus. On 18 December 2005, at the Ledra Marriott Hotel, Athens, ELINT President, Byron Tomazos noted that as a salvor over the past 30 years, Tsavliris has undertaken over 2,000 salvage operations, some of them among the world's best known. Nicolas A. Tsavliris, accepting the award on behalf of the group, commented on the long service of people working with the group and noted the dangers associated with salvage.

After a busy start to 2005, the TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE GROUP has continued to be highly active in the last two months with a series of further significant LOF salvage operations.
