Reviews & Ratings for the Istanbul-N

In a dramatic maritime incident, the ro-ro vessel 'İstanbul N' encountered engine troubles and went adrift in the Marmara Sea on August 27, 2024. The ship, which had set sail from Bandırma Çelebi Port at 1:00 AM with 68 vehicles and 68 passengers on board, experienced a significant electrical system failure approximately 90 minutes later, while passing the picturesque Kapıdağ Peninsula. Despite the crew's diligent efforts to identify the issue during repair attempts, the exact cause of the malfunction remained elusive. Fortunately, the situation was alleviated when the Coastal Safety tug 'Kurtarma 2,' accompanied by the lifeboat 'Kıyı Emniyeti 4,' arrived on the scene to provide assistance. The 'İstanbul N' was successfully towed to Ambarlı, where it was safely berthed at 5:30 AM UTC on August 28, 2024, thereby ensuring the safety of all passengers and cargo on board.
