YM Miranda Afloat in Bosporus: Tanker Incident Disrupts Marine Traffic
On October 28, 2013, a significant maritime incident unfolded in the Bosporus Strait, forcing the closure of this vital shipping route. The tanker 'YM Miranda,' with a crew of 17 aboard, experienced a steering malfunction while navigating strong currents during its journey from Damietta to Yuzhnyy. After dropping anchor at Anadolu Hisar, the vessel's anchor dragged and became snagged in underwater fiber cables, complicating the situation further. To quickly resolve the issue, the Bosporus vessel traffic service deployed the tug 'Kurtarma 4' for an emergency tow. Eventually, 'YM Miranda' was able to lift its anchor and re-establish its position at a depth of 60 meters near the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. Following the incident, investigations revealed that one fiber optic cable was severely damaged and two others were affected. This disruption serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by vessels navigating these busy waters.
