Kayan 1 evacuated and run aground

In the midday hours of Jan 20, 2012, the "Kıyı Emniyeti 5" evacuated the crew from the "Kayan 1" in pos. 40o 58 '604''N 28o 53 '234''E which was down by the stern and had a list of 20 degrees to starboard then due to a water ingress in the cargo hold. Water was being pumped out, and 5 salvors came on board. But then 11 of the 13 crew left the unloaded ship climbing down a ladder on port side, only the captain remained on board with two other crew members. The ship had been blown by SW-gusts against the Dutch "Slochterdiep“ and the Tansania-flagged "Adria Blu“ at 5.20 a.m. while mooring and was breached in the stern. Both other ships were slightly damaged, the "Adria Blu" suffered damage at the accomodation block. The tugs and rescue boats "Kurtarma 3", "Söndüren 7" and "Tahlisiye III" tried to take the foundering ship in tow to a secure location off Zeytinburnu, in the Marmara Sea south of Istanbul, where with the aid of support vessels it was held afloat but was steadily sinking lower in the water, having been holed in the stern.
