Rescue tugs before long towed the ship offshore, area publication Maritime Executive documented. “The ship moved slowly, accompanied by many tugs,” noted this publication.
The 173-meter-lengthy dry cargo ship “Girl Zehma”, traveling the flag of Liberia, remaining a couple of times in the past from the port of Chornomorsk for the Italian metropolis of Ravenna with a cargo of 3,000 tons of Ukrainian corn.
In the Bosphorus, its rudder broke, so the ship deliberately ran aground all around 9pm and dropped anchor in Bebek Bay.
“In relationship with the harm to the ship, the coastal stability headquarters, rescue tugs, cutters and coast guard groups have been straight away dispatched to the scene,” the Istanbul governor’s business office stated in a statement.
Whilst the ship was aground, visitors throughout the Bosphorus was briefly suspended.
