Maria-S Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On June 17, 2013, at 4:35 PM, the cargo vessel 'Kazime Ana,' on its route from Izmit to Akcansa, encountered trouble in the Canakkale Strait. The incident occurred while navigating through the renowned Dardanelles passage in a north-south direction, specifically at Sarıçay. In response to the situation, the Çanakkale Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) promptly dispatched the Turkish tugboat 'Söndüren 7' (IMO: 7531656) to lend assistance to the beleaguered vessel.

On November 29, 2012, the Turkish general cargo ship Kazime Ana experienced a critical engine malfunction while journeying from Savona, Italy, to Foss, France, shortly after unloading a coal shipment in Savona. As adverse weather conditions set in, the vessel struggled to resolve the engine issues and subsequently requested assistance. The Italian Coast Guard, along with a tugboat, successfully navigated through the rough seas to provide aid. By November 30 morning, Kazime Ana was securely towed back to Savona, arriving at the port around 0830 UTC. As of the morning of December 1, the vessel remained stationed in the same position.
