Close Call in the Bosphorus: Kıran America Drifts Towards Shore
On November 23, 2024, at 6:40 AM UTC, the cargo vessel Kıran America found itself in a perilous situation while navigating the Bosphorus Strait. The ship, which was making its way from İskenderun to Karadeniz Ereğli, unexpectedly lost control, drifting dangerously toward the rocky shoreline near the Kanlıca - Çubuklu Coastal road. The incident was exacerbated by inclement weather, raising questions about whether a rudder malfunction or fierce winds prompted the loss of control. In a swift response, a KEGM tugboat, stationed at the Çubuklu rapid intervention pier, was dispatched to assist. By 6 PM the same day, the tugboat had successfully anchored off Karadeniz Ereğli, positioning itself at coordinates 41° 15' N 031° 23' E. This event highlights the ongoing challenges of maritime navigation in the unpredictable weather conditions of the Bosphorus.
