High profile operations include the six-week odyssey of the 31,000 dwt "CASTOR" in 2001, when "NIKOLAY CHIKER" battled to save both the tanker and it's cargo of unleaded gasoline after her main deck cracked in rough weather off Morocco. Another noteworthy example includes the recovery of 39,500 tonnes of crude oil aboard the 87,500 dwt "TASMAN SPIRIT" in 2003, after her grounding outside the port of Karachi.
