The General Company for Tugging, Rescue Operations and Maritime Services, in partnership with the Greek company Resolve Marine, managed to rescue and refloat the container ship “Lady Halloum”.

The ship ran aground at Tripoli Port on 27 October due to strong winds and heavy rain.

In a statement, the Mediterranean Shipping Company announced the wind speed on that day reached 130 km per hour and led to the stranding of the Lady Halloum at the breakwater.
