Read Authentic Ratings for the Advantis-Virgo

On July 15, 2025, during a critical salvage operation involving the burning container ship Wan Hai 503, the tug Offshore Warrior encountered difficulties when a towline transfer to the Atlantis Virgo failed due to a parted main towline. An emergency tow connection was rapidly established to address the situation. By July 17, a more durable towing arrangement was reestablished, yet the Atlantis Virgo suffered a setback as its starboard propeller became fouled from the towing wire entanglement, limiting its operability to just one engine. This incident highlights the complexities and challenges faced during maritime salvage operations.

The decommissioned vessel Tenaga Liam has been successfully towed to the Chittagong Breakers, where it will be dismantled and recycled. The vessel arrived at the Chittagong anchorage on December 5, 2018, marking a significant step in its transition from operational use to scrapping. This move is in line with ongoing efforts to responsibly dispose of aging maritime assets in the region.
