[Regnum] The dry cargo ship Lady Ayana, which was sailing from Russia under the flag of Barbados, has been trying to be refloated off the coast of Istanbul in the Sea of ​​Marmara for the third day.

According to RIA Novosti, as of 15:00 Moscow time, the dry cargo ship continues to remain aground off the coast of Istanbul, from where at least two tugboats are trying to remove it. There are strong waves at sea.
Sometimes the snark writes itself.
Earlier, the Turkish Ministry of Transport sent a tugboat and a boat to the ship to evacuate the crew.

As Regnum reported, on June 28, the cargo ship carrying wheat Lady Ayana ran aground off the coast of Istanbul in the Sea of ​​Marmara. The KEGM-3 high-speed rescue boat and the Rescue-10 tugboat were sent to the scene of the incident to evacuate the crew.

In late January, the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Peria blocked traffic in the Bosphorus. The ship's anchor broke due to bad weather. Several hours later, traffic was restored and the tanker was towed to a berth in Istanbul.
