October 13 - Saipem chartered two of Harms Bergung, Transport & Heavylift's tugs to tow the semi-submersible pipelay vessel, Castoro 6, from Rotterdam to Burgas in Bulgaria.

The 298-tonne bollard pull anchor handling tug (AHT) Uranus, along with the 192-tonne bollard pull AHT Magnus, set off in the direction of the Black Sea during July 2014. The pair towed the 152 m x 70.5 m pipelay vessel at an average speed of 4.5 knots.

During mid-August, AHT Magnus was released to perform cargo runs in Trapani, Italy, before rejoining the convoy.

In September, the two tugs safely delivered the vessel to its final destination. Thereafter, AHT Uranus underwent her intermediate class survey in Varna, while AHT Magnus went on charter for Transocean.
