City University of London Presentation on Shipping
In February, Andreas A. Tsavliris gave his annual lecture at the City University of London (Bayes Business School) to the "Shipping, Trade and Finance" master's degree student. He took the opportunity to emphasise that "shipping needs a strong salvage industry to support every possible operation in every part of the world". He discussed the major challenges of the sector.
On 7 December 2023, the Bulk Carrier "GAZIBEY" (GT 12,192 - DWT 17,786), laden with 9,900 MT Fertilizer (Potassium Chloride Granule), suffered main engine failure and drifted approx. 60 miles off Falmouth, UK. During the incident the vessel was en route from Ust-Luga, Russia to Bayonne, France. Tsavliris despatched the AHTS "ALP STRIKER" (BP 312 - BHP 24,400), arriving at the casualty on 8 December.
