What Crew Members Say About Yekta-7

On September 4, 2018, at 2:00 PM local time, the tugboat 'Kyuei Maru No 18' suffered a serious mishap as it dragged its anchor during the ferocious landfall of Typhoon Jebi, which brought wind gusts reaching up to 162 km/h. This incident unfolded at the Amagasakinishinomiya Port within Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, where the vessel ran aground alongside its crane barge, 'Tukasa,' becoming firmly lodged on both sides of the jetty. Immediate recovery efforts were initiated, with workers on deck tackling extensive damage through welding operations to facilitate the vessels' refloating. To mitigate potential environmental hazards, an oil boom was deployed around the stern of the tugboat.
