Discover the Deniz-Akay: Ratings & Maritime News

On February 13, 2026, at approximately 8:30 p.m., the freighter 'Deniz Akay' experienced a power failure while departing the De Franceschievo pier in Rijeka. This unfortunate incident led to an allision with the 'Galeb', a former state yacht once owned by Josip Broz Tito, the former president of Yugoslavia. Currently, the 'Galeb' is undergoing conversion to become a museum ship. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or environmental pollution from the incident. Emergency services were promptly called to respond, and the Rijeka Port Authority representatives arrived quickly to conduct initial investigations. Alcohol tests for the crew of the 'Deniz Akay' returned negative results. A technical inspection subsequently revealed minimal damage to both vessels, primarily affecting the port side of the 'Deniz Akay' and the bow section of the 'Galeb'. The Rijeka Port Authority enacted an administrative measure, barring the 'Deniz Akay' from sailing until further inspections and evidentiary actions were completed. The freighter eventually departed the port on February 17, 2026, bound for Altinova, where it arrived on February 21.
