The Militos: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the morning of April 12, 2020, the Greek-flagged tanker 'Militos' encountered an engine failure while navigating the southern Bosphorus shortly after initiating its northbound journey. Swift action by Turkish coastal police teams, who reached the site within 10 minutes of receiving the alert, was crucial in averting a potential maritime incident. The rescue vessel, 'Mehmetçik', along with multiple tugs, worked diligently to stabilize the drifting tanker. Subsequently, the vessel was securely towed, turned around, and escorted back to the Sea of Marmara. The 'Militos' was successfully moored at Yeşilköy anchorage at coordinates 40° 56.45' N, 028° 52.47' E at 9:30 a.m. on the same day.
