Cargo ship with 10 crew sinks off Istanbul after collision, maritime authorities say

A cargo ship named Tuğberk İmamoğlu sank in the Marmara Sea near Istanbul after colliding with an oil tanker called ALSU early Wednesday. The collision occurred approximately 18 nautical miles off the Silivri district, with both vessels involved in the incident. Rescuers searched for the 10 crew members aboard the Tuğberk İmamoğlu, but they were not found inside the lifeboat recovered at sea. The ALSU, which sustained damage in the collision, participated in the search-and-rescue operations. Initially reported as carrying 3,000 tonnes of motor oil, the ALSU was later confirmed to be empty. The incident follows a recent ferry disaster off Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus, where eight Turkish nationals died and 20 others remained missing.
