Ferry disabled after engine room fire
On July 13, 2025, at 4.08 p.m. a fire broke out in the engine room of the 'Yavuz Naz', en route from Marmara Island to Tekirdağ, northwest of Marmara Island with 207 passengers and crew members and 70 vehicles on board, prompting an emergency response from Turkey's Directorate General of Coastal Safety (KEGM). The Coast Guard dispatched the "TCSG-313" and "KB-70" to the scene. The captain reported that the fire was isolated in the engine room, which was, howver, filled with smoke, and the engine had to be shut down. The lifeboats 'Kiyem 4' and 'Kegm 6' were also deployed to the scene and started cooling operations. The fire could be contained, and no injuries were reported. Besides the Coast Guard boats, three tugs from the Tekirdağ Port Authority, one tugfrom Marmara Island, and the passenger ferries 'Öz Kaptan 1'-1 and 'Ömer Kaptan 3' were dispatched to the area for a possible evacuation. The ferry was taken in tow to Marmara Island by the ferry 'Öz Kaptan 1', where the passengers were safely disembarked at the Marmara pier. An administrative investigation has been launched into the incident by the Bandırma Regional Port Authority.
