Towage Services
Tsavliris is traditionally an emergency response contractor but has executed a number of important towage and offshore contracts, including specialised services to the oil and gas industries in the North Sea.
The Group's identical pair of the largest tugs in the world, Fotiy Krylov and Nikolay Chiker, has given a competitive advantage over difficult, and challenging towages.
Tsavliris has successfully performed a series of sophisticated deep-sea towages. Highly demanding projects include the 5,500-mile towage of the semi-submersible drilling rig “Atwood Eagle” in Angola in 2003. Other examples include the towage of the drilling rig Eirik Raude in North America in 2002, which was carried out by Fotiy Krylov and Nikolay Chiker. This was followed by Nikolay Chiker's marathon towage of the Soviet-built aircraft carrier Varyag from the Aegean Sea to China in 2002.
