KOTUG provided salvage assistance to refloat the bulk carrier MV Gladiatorship after she ran aground just before high water in Nacala, Mozamique.
 
The Bahamas flagged vessel was unable to refloat herself and at risk of being damaged by the drop between high and low water.
 
KOTUG employed two Rotortugs to pull her free of the beach and back into safe waters, thus refloating the MV Gladiatorship within two hours of running aground.
