The M/T Parthenon rescued four Swedish sailors off the coast of Portugal on September 28, 2008. The case was highlighted in an Amver press release and covered by the Euroweekly. To get an idea of the difficult weather conditions encountered by the survivors and rescuers watch this exclusive video shot from the bridge of the Parthenon.
Parthenon is owned and managed by the Tsakos Group of Athens, Greece. Tsakos is a strong supporter of Amver and we are grateful for their contribution of this dramatic rescue footage.
