The ship Ilyas Konan, en route from Russia, was delivered by tugboats to the parking lot of Ahirkapi.
The Bosphorus Strait, which separates Istanbul on the European and Asian sides, was temporarily closed to navigation due to the destruction of a dry cargo ship. This was reported by the Turkish Coast Guard, writes NTV.
It was reported that the decision to suspend the shipment was made at 18:00 local time.
Traffic was suspended by the 94-meter bulk carrier Ilyas Konan (“Ilyas Konan”), en route from Russia to the port of Kocaeli near Istanbul. His engine broke down when he passed the Bosphorus.
“Accompanied by two tugboats, the vessel was escorted to the Ahirkapi parking lot, where it dropped anchor,” the report said.
After the ship was removed, at 21.20 the Turkish coast guard announced the resumption of navigation in the strait.
It will be remembered that Russia blocks the inspection of ships in the Bosphorus. Therefore, in January, the export of Ukrainian agricultural products fell by 25% compared to December.
