Tsavliris salvages two bulk carriers and assist one drillship

In January 2026, Tsavliris Salvage used 2006-built anchor-handling tug, supply (AHTS) vessel Logindo Sturdy, with a bollard pull of 150 tonnes, to tow 33,044-gt bulk carrier, 2015-built Blueray, in ballast condition, from Pulau Laut anchorage, Indonesia, to Banten Shipyard, Indonesia, with the convoy arriving on 6 February 2026.

In the Indian Ocean, Tsavliris towed 32,987-gt bulk carrier, Common Calypso, laden with Brazilian soya beans, to safety after it experienced a main engine problem while en route from Santos, Brazil, to Chittagong, Bangladesh, and was drifting 10 nautical miles east of the Solomon Islands.

The Greek salvage company mobilised 2006-built anchor handling tug Boka Alpine, with 200 tonnes of bollard pull, to tow the 2011-built ship to Hambantota Port, Sri Lanka. “During the voyage, the tow connection had to be replaced due to damage caused by yawing,” said Tsavliris. On 26 January, the convoy arrived safely at its destination.

On 23 January 2026, Tsavliris assisted 65,790-gt drillship Discoverer India to exit the Platygiali Port, Greece, using three Patras-based tugs – Proteas, Apollon and Hermes – to deliver the 2010-built ship to AHTS Fram Prince for onward towage.
