Engine failure in Bosphorus
The "Anna Smile" with a crew of 23 on board suffered engine failure while transiting the Bosphorus enroute from Saleef to Nikolaev in northern direction on Dec 8, 2016, at 12.17 p.m. shortly after passing the First Bridge. The unloaded vessel had to drop anchor to avoid a collision or grounding. The tug "Kurtarma 8" and "Kurtarma 3" as well as the lifeboats "Kıyı Emniyeti 6" and "Kıyı Emniyeti 8" came to assist. The casualty blocked the traffic for about two hours, until it was moved back to the Marmara Sea and moored in the mooring area of Ahırkapı off Zeytinburnu. At 3.35 p.m. the shipping lane was open for traffic again.
