On 28 April 2023, Tsavliris despatched their T/B "HERMES" (BHP 2,725 – BP 41) from her salvage station in Patras Port, to the assistance of the casualty. Due to difficulties in heaving up the anchor, it became necessary to cut/buoy the casualty's anchor chain.
On 29 April, towage to Piraeus Port commenced, arriving at destination on 2 May where the vessel was delivered to two port tugs for immediate berthing at Neo Molo Drapetsonas. On 3 May the operation was successfully completed.
