On December 25, 2018, at 12:50 a.m., the vessel 'Senja' encountered significant challenges due to ice causing a blockage of its sea suctions on the St. Lawrence River. The incident occurred approximately two miles east of Petite-Riviere-Saint-Francois, Quebec, precisely at coordinates 47°18'04.1" N and 70°31'12.3" W.

On September 17, Tsavliris launched a commendable rescue mission by deploying their salvage tug Uranus from Las Palmas to aid the immobilized general cargo vessel Hagen, which has a gross tonnage of 11,927 and a deadweight tonnage of 16,825. The Hagen was carrying approximately 14,500 MT of steam-dried fishmeal from Peru when it encountered machinery failures about 700 nautical miles southwest of Azores Island. The Uranus reached the distressed vessel on the evening of September 21, bravely maneuvering through challenging weather conditions. By daybreak on September 22, the two vessels successfully connected their towline, marking the start of the towage operation. After an extensive journey, the convoy safely arrived off Cascais on September 30. There, the Uranus transferred the Hagen to two port tugs that had been arranged by the salvor. Ultimately, the Hagen was safely towed to Lisbon, where it docked at the TPR Terminal the same day, concluding a successful salvage operation.

On September 17, 2023, the general cargo ship Hagen encountered a significant mechanical issue while sailing from Peru to Germany.
