The Oksana: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On February 26, divers conducted crucial inspections to determine the state of the tangled anchor chain from the "Navaho" that was ensnared on the propeller of the "Oxana V". Following their thorough evaluation, the dive team was able to successfully free the anchor chain from the propeller. The "Navaho" then repositioned itself and dropped anchor at coordinates 40° 57.63' N 028° 54.37' E. A comprehensive damage survey and inspection are currently underway. Notably, the Turkish pollution response vessel, "Erva" (MMSI: 271010393), has docked at the "Navaho" to assist with the inspection process.

In a maritime incident that unfolded on February 25, 2019, the cargo vessel m/v 'Navaho' faced a challenging situation while attempting to anchor at Zeytinburu anchorage B, situated near Istanbul in the Marmara Sea. At approximately 10 p.m., a significant mishap occurred when 'Navaho' drew too close to the vessel 'Oxsana V', leading to its anchor chain becoming entangled with 'Oxsana V's propeller, which ultimately sustained a crack. To swiftly address the situation, the General Directorate of Coastal Safety organized rescue efforts, deploying the lifeboat 'Kıyı Emniyeti 3', which was subsequently assisted by 'Kıyı Emniyeti 4', along with the tugs 'Kurtarma 7' and 'Mehmetçik'. By the morning of February 26, a preliminary assessment indicated that the vessels were still positioned at a distance of 40 meters apart at coordinates 40° 57.94' N, 028° 54.23' E. Notably, 'Oxsana V' had departed from Altinova at 5 p.m. and successfully dropped anchor at 8:40 p.m. For more details and photographs of the incident, refer to the Turkish report available at Deniz Haber: http://www.denizhaber.com/kazalar/zeytinburnu-aciklari-b-demir-bolgesinde-gemiler-carpisti-h77485.html.
