The captain first tried to refloat the ship by his own means, but after two days of unsuccessful attempts, he requested assistance from the General Directorate of Coastal Safety. Divers surveyed the hull, and a tug was called, but due to adverse weather conditions, progress could not be achieved. As of Jan 4 the ship was still stuck and a lightering operation of the 2.970 tons sunflower meal from Yeisk cargo was started. The tug 'Kurtarma 4' (IMO: 9335941) remained on standby at the vessel.
