Discover the Deyi-Endurance: Ratings & Maritime News

On August 16, 2026, the cargo vessel 'Deyi Endurance', loaded to capacity, experienced a critical engine failure in the Mediterranean waters near Boczaada. The vessel, which has a draught of 17.7 meters, was promptly assisted by the tugboat 'Nene Hatun' (IMO: 9675004), allowing it to be towed through the Dardanelles Strait towards Istanbul. After arriving in Istanbul and dropping anchor on August 17, 'Deyi Endurance' successfully navigated the Bosphorus Strait on August 29, 2026, despite challenging conditions posed by strong opposing currents. To ensure safe passage during this operation, the Bosphorus was temporarily closed for seven hours, with the tow making progress at a speed of just two knots. By August 30, the vessel was securely moored near the port and has remained stationary at coordinates 41° 33' N, 031° 35' E as of September 6, 2026.
