The 190-meter vessel Annita suffered an engine failure
According to TASS, Russia's state-owned news agency article published on October 14, 2022, traffic in the Bosporus Strait was suspended late on Thursday due to an engine failure of a Russia-bound bulk carrier, the Turkish Coast Guard department said.
The department told TASS that the 190-meter-long Annita dry cargo ship, en route from the Turkish port of Tuzla to Russia’s Port Kavkaz, had experienced an engine failure while sailing through the waterway.
On a request from the ship’s captain, two tugboats and a boat with a harbor pilot have been sent for help.
