Grounded ship to be dismantled

Cargo ship grounded at Maltepe

In the evening of Nov 9, 2016, the "Mina 1" grounded at Maltepe port in the Marmara Sea. The unloaded vessel had been laid up and moored in the Istanbul area since about four months, but in stormy weather the anchor dragged and it drifted onto the rocky embankment, thereby suffering hull damage. The authorities started operations to secure and salvage the ship. They deployed the rescue boat "Kiyi Emniyeti 4" and the tug "Kurtarma 1" for this purpose which pulled the ship back to deeper water after the wind subsided.
