Badly damaged tanker needs lot of repair work
Some new photos and video from the Besiktas Shipyard in Altinova, where the ship docked on July 27, were showing the extent of damage sustained by the "STI Pimlico" following its collision with the "Celestial Crystal" in the Dardanelles Strait on June 27 near Gallipoli. While the cruise ship sustained some minor damage to its bow, the tanker was badly damaged in the collision, which caused some of the ships flammable naphtha cargo to spill into the water. The scope of repairs will include the replacement of steel, blasting and painting of affected ballast/cargo tanks, renewal of damaged main deck outfitting, electrical systems and piping.
