Working Conditions Aboard the Grande-Italia

On June 9, 2016, at 10:50 PM, the cargo vessel 'Grande Italia' experienced an unexpected engine failure while navigating through the Dardanelles towards the north, specifically near Çanakkale. The situation prompted the vessel traffic service to deploy five tugboats for support. By 01:05 AM on June 10, the ship, which was laden with vehicles and carrying a crew of 29, was successfully anchored at Saltık Burnu in the Yapildak region. After a brief stay, 'Grande Italia' reinitiated its journey on June 14, eventually docking in Gemlik just after midnight on June 15. This incident highlights the importance of maritime safety and the efficient response of tugs in distress situations. For more information and images, visit the Turkish Coast Guard's official site.
