Collision in Marmara Sea
The bulk carrier 'BC Vanessa' (IMO:9426855) was in collision with the 'Benitamou' in the Marmara Sea halfway between Sarkoy, Tekirdag, and Gelibolu, Canakkale, on Oct 24, 2021, at 03.10 a.m. Both ships were proceeding towards the Dardanelles and crashed in dense fog. The 'BC Vanessa' hit the 'Benitamou' midships at port side which suffered a huge breach and water ingress. The bow and forecastle of the 'BC Vanessa' were heavily damaged too. She moored at Sevketiye anchorage. Coastal Safety deployed the tugs 'Nazim Tur', 'Kurtarma 4', 'Kurtarma 15' and 'Seren 2' to the scene. The 'Benitamou' had been loaded with a cargo of iron ore en route from Yuzhny to China, the 'BC Vanessa' underway from Varna to Tunis.
