Fire caused major damage
On May 31, 2016, around 2 p.m. a fire broke out in the superstructure of the "Şükran Camuz". Smoke was blowing towards the nearby Lunapark. The vessel has been anchored in Mersin for a long time, detained and apparently abandoned by the owner Abdulkadir Yeniçık. Tugs and firefighters of the Metropolitan Municipality Fire Department were deployed to the ship in an effort to keep the fire from spreadiing to other ships moored off the Mersin International Port (MIP). The "Kaptan Hasan Camız" which was berthed alongside was removed from the blazing vessel as a precaution. Fire crews continued to work in cooling the ship, police and the Coast Guard teams took security measures. The owner suspected arson as cause of the fire. Previously thieves had stolen generator cables. The fire was extinguished within two hours. In January 2015, both the "Kaptan Hasan Camuz" and "Şükran Camuz" had to be secured after having gone adrift in a storm and were threatened to sink. On Aug 13 tugs had pulled the vessel to the outer range of the port.

Lack of maintenance caused danger of sinking
The "Sukran Camuz" was reported as being in danger of sinking due to a lack of maintenance in Mersin where the ship was moored since January 2015. The vessel was taken to a safe area and anchored.
