Engine failure in Bosphorus
The 'Bers' suffered an engine failure during the transit of the Bosphorus in loaden condition, in front of the 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü (July 15 Martyrs Bridge), while en route from Iskenderun to Constanta on March 19, 2025, short past noon. The Bosphorus Strait’s shipping traffic was temporarily suspended in both directions. The ship was taken in tow by the tug 'Kurtarma 11' (IMO: 9854399) about one hour later, and safely moored at the Ahırkapı Demir anchorage short before 2 p.m. UTC, under the coordination of the Istanbul VTS Center and assisted by a pilot. Strait traffic was reopened during the afternoon. As of March 20, it remained stationary in pos. 40° 59' N 028° 58' E. Report with photo: https://x.com/kiyiemniyet/status/1902416230411096350
