Freighter refloated by tug
As the 'Mustafa Kemal' was not able to refloat under its own power, a tug and salvage team were called from Iskenderun to provide assistance. Upon completion of an initial damage survey and an inspection of the grounding site, a towing connection was established and the vessel pulled to a repair yard in Iskenderun on Feb 1 at 7 p.m. A detailed damage survey was under progress. An incident investigation file was placed by the Harbour Master's incident investigation desk. The vessel has been imposed a fine due to a breach of safe navigation regulations.
