The TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE GROUP has refloated a stranded bulk carrier in one of the most difficult and protracted salvage operations carried out in the Indian Ocean in recent times.

Leading international salvor TSAVLIRIS has been highly active over the summer with a series of groundings and other maritime casualties spanning the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Greek leading salvor TSAVLIRIS has dispatched S/T "MEGAS ALEXANDROS" from Piraeus on 7th of July to assist the container Ship "LUCY BORCHARD", which ran aground in shallow waters in the sea of Korakia, north west of Chios island.

Published to coincide with the opening of Posidonia 2004 and the Olympiad in Athens, a colourful 48-page TSAVLIRIS brochure covers a fair number of the significant salvage and towage contracts successfully undertaken over the past four years by the world's most active response contractor.

Leading salvor George Tsavliris has urged the European Union to work closely with the salvage industry in developing antipollution response capabilities within Europe - and at the same time he called for a harmonized approach with that of global bodies, particularly the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

The TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE GROUP has expressed its gratitude to the Government of Pakistan and to a large number of individuals and organisations for the role they played in the safe return home of company salvage master Nikos Pappas after eight months of detention in Karachi.

A newly produced pocket guide to the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) has been produced with the support from the TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE GROUP and is being distributed to international shipping companies with offices in Cyprus and abroad.

Wishes for the safe and quick return of the Tsavliris salvage master held in Pakistan for the last six months, dominated the traditional cutting of the New Year's cake held recently at the offices of the Piraeus-based international salvage group.
