M/V RENOS

On 23rd August 2012, motor vessel RENOS (38,391DWT, built 1985), laden with 37,537 mts of rock phosphate in bulk, suffered engine room fire off Safaga, Egypt. A LOF was signed same day with SCOPIC clause invoked. Salvors contracted salvage tug OCEAN DAMIETTA from Damietta and also mobilized AHTS RED SEA FOS from Piraeus to assist together with a salvage team from Greece. A fire fighting team from Holland was also engaged. Once the fire was extinguished, salvors collaborated with Egyptian Authorities, shifted the casualty to the Suez STS anchorage, and made all preparatory works required for a possible towage or transshipment/discharge operation. After exploring all possible options, salvors decided to tow the casualty to the loading port of Adabiya and discharge the cargo ashore. The discharge was completed on 05th October and the vessel was redelivered to her Owners on 07th October 2012 in Suez anchorage.
