On 9 July 2024, the 47-metre Sailing (Perini) Yacht "TAMARITA" stranded on Panagia Reef, off Paxoi Island, Ionian Sea, Greece with significant listing to port side and water ingress. This is an environmentally sensitive area, included in the Natura 2000 network with Europe's most valuable habitats.
Tsavliris mobilised immediately local divers from Paxoi and Corfu Islands to attend on site and control the water ingress with diesel driven pumps and underwater patching.
On 10 July, Tsavliris mobilised their Patras-based S/T "PROTEAS" (BHP 3,200 – BP 45) to the assistance of the casualty.
