Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Haci-Huseyin

On the evening of July 31, 2026, at precisely 6:10 p.m., the bulk carrier 'Haci Hüseyin' experienced a significant engine failure while navigating from Russia to İskenderun, transporting an estimated 22,000 tons of iron ore. The vessel began to drift dangerously close to the shoreline near the Kanlıca district in the Bosphorus Strait. In a swift response to avert potential disaster, the crew promptly dropped anchor to halt the vessel's unintended movement. Turkish maritime authorities quickly intervened by dispatching tugs 'Kurtarma 3', 'Kurtarma 8', and 'Nazim Tur', along with the lifeboat 'Kiyem 5', to manage the unfolding situation and secure the ship. Due to this incident, navigation in the Bosphorus Strait was briefly suspended in both directions to ensure safety protocols were followed and the vessel could be towed safely. After the crew weighed anchor and the necessary precautions were completed, the river channel reopened at 8:30 p.m. The 'Haci Hüseyin' was subsequently moored at coordinates 40° 59' N 028° 57' E in the Ahırkapı Anchorage Area.
