Cargo ships sinks near Turkish port 12 crew missing

12 crew members were missing after a cargo ship sank off Turkey’s Black Sea coast in severe storms, Turkish officials were quoted by international media reports. The ship was on its way to the western Turkish port of Izmir from Russia

 

The Turkish-flagged Kafkametler sank on November 19th after hitting a breakwater outside the harbor off the town of Eregli, some 200 kilometers (124 miles) east of Istanbul. The vessel had sent out a distress signal earlier in the morning according to the Turkish ministry of transport.

The captain said in his last communication with authorities that the ship was drifting towards a breakwater off Eregli. The vessel lashed against the breakwater several times before it sank. 

 

Rescue crews were on standby waiting for the weather conditions to clear to begin a rescue mission. As soon as conditions improve the search-and-rescue operations will begin immediately. The cargo ship was transporting ferrosilicon from the Russian port of Temryuk to Aliaga in Turkey.
