I don't think that LEOPARD was ever owned by Tsavliris (though could have been bareboat chartered - I don't know). I have her as operated by them, but owned by Black Sea Shipping Co (Blasco), Odessa from 1985 (previous to that with Bugsier, Hamburg as CARIBIC) - so USSR flag initially, the Ukraine from early 1990s. Then split off from Blasco into "Blascospetsflot".

In 2000 she was transferred to "MARS - Morska Avariyno-Ryatuvalna Sluzhba", Odessa, but still operated by Tsavliris. Then to another Ukraine company "SATCO - Salvage & Towage Co (Upravleniye Buksimo-Spatsatelnogo i Spetsialisirovanogo Flota)", which seems to be when Tsavliris ceased their involvement.

Russian owned , not Greek , she had been sold previously by tsavliris to a Russian owned company

Not owned or managed by Greeks (Tsavliris) at the time of the accident. Greek Shipping Directory reports "Sold to foreign buyers" in 2009 so she must have been sold in 2008.

That's harsh. Not sure that she was still chartered to Tsavliris when lost. But even if she was, I'd be looking towards the owners.

Greeks really know how to f... things up!
