Containership Topples Three Cranes at Evyap Port, Turkey

The containership named “YM WITNESS” knocked over three large container cranes while attempting to dock at the Evyap Port in Istanbul, Turkey. The incident took place on Saturday afternoon, March 16th, and one crane operator has been reported to be gravely injured.

While initial reports suggested that no personnel were injured in the dramatic mishap, later reports from the Turkish media stated that the operator of one of the cranes was severely injured in the accident.

On the afternoon of March 16th, when the ship was supposed to dock at the container port, the ship appeared to be arriving at the port at a steep angle, towards an area where four large cranes are situated. The vessel was unable to stop in time, and its wide deck ended up colliding with one of the cranes as it pulled into the dock. This in turn caused two other cranes to topple over and several containers to be knocked into the harbor.

Videos that have surfaced on social media show dockworkers running away as the gigantic cranes come crashing down.
