On Tuesday 17th September, we dispatched salvage tug "URANUS", from Las Palmas, to the assistance of general cargo vessel "HAGEN" (11,927 GRT, 16,825 DWT), laden with about 14,500 MT of Peruvian steam dried fishmeal in bulk, immobilized due to machinery problems about 700 nautical miles Southwest of Azores Island.

Salvage tug "URANUS" arrived at the casualty's location in the evening of the 21st September in adverse weather conditions. At daybreak of the 22nd September towline was connected and commenced towage.

Convoy arrived safely off Cascais on the 30th September where the "URANUS" delivered the vessel to two port tugs contracted by us. The "HAGEN" was safely towed to Lisbon and the same day berthed at TPR Terminal.
