An unfortunate maritime accident unfolded in the Bosphorus Strait on September 18, 2025, at 8:30 PM, when the passenger ferry 'Kamil Sayin' (MMSI: 271010610) collided with the cargo vessel 'Artvin' during a busy rush hour near Salacak, close to the Uskudar district. This incident resulted in injuries to 12 individuals onboard. Emergency responders, including police, firefighters, and paramedics, swiftly arrived at the scene to assist the victims.
