Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Ege-m

On December 30, 2025, at 7:50 a.m., the cargo vessel 'Ege M', traveling from Novorossiysk, Russia, to Hatay, encountered a critical steering malfunction while navigating the Bosphorus Strait. This unforeseen issue led the ship to drift perilously close to the Beşiktaş pier, sparking alarm among onlookers before the crew managed to regain control and reverse the vessel's course. After a thorough inspection and quick repairs executed by the onboard team, the 'Ege M' was successfully anchored at Ahırkapı Anchorage, assisted by Coastal Safety tugboats. The brief interruption to maritime traffic was resolved, allowing normal operations to resume once the ship was safely positioned at coordinates 40° 59' N 028° 57' E.
