Cargo ship with 10 crew sinks off Turkey coast — authorities

A Turkish cargo ship named Tugberk Imamoglu sank after colliding with a chemical tanker called Alsu in the Marmara Sea near Istanbul. The incident occurred early Wednesday at around 3 a.m. local time, resulting in the loss of all 10 crew members onboard. Turkish Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu confirmed the sinking and stated that no survivors had been found. The two vessels collided approximately 900 meters offshore in waters around 900 meters deep. Search and rescue operations involving two helicopters and 12 vessels are ongoing. The Tugberk Imamoglu, a 90-meter bulk carrier built in 1990, was transporting 4,200 tons of rolled steel from Iskenderun to Eregli in the Black Sea. The Alsu, which was empty at the time of the collision, sustained no visible damage.
