Tsavliris Starts New Year at Speed
Three busy months for the Piraeus based Tsavliris Salvage Group began just before Christmas with the start of a major project to salvage the Saudi Arabian frigate Makkah 814 which ran aground on a reef in the Red Sea some 80 miles north of Jeddah. The delicate operation to free the high-tech warship bristling with expensive electronics took more than two months and involved over 700 salvage personnel.
