At least eight passengers were injured in a collision between a passenger ferry and a bulk carrier in the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey. This was reported on September 19 by CNN Turk, citing a statement from Istanbul provincial authorities. "The passenger ship Kamil Sayın, en route from Beşiktaş to Üsküdar, collided with the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Artvin in the Bosphorus. No one fell overboard, but eight people on board were injured," the publication notes. According to the channel, the passenger ship was moored at the Paşalimanı pier in Istanbul. Two injured passengers were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The bulk carrier was towed to a safe area by the coast guard and anchored for damage assessment. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident. It was previously reported that a Turkish cruise ship collided with several Greek vessels in the port of Çeşme on August 10. The ship's engine room malfunctioned, causing it to lose control and collide with Greek-flagged ships moored at the dock. |
