Ship ran aground off Beykoz: 13 personnel evacuated

A dry cargo ship ran aground off Anadolu Feneri near Beykoz after suffering an engine failure, and all 13 crew members on board were evacuated. The vessel was stranded in the area off Anadolu Feneri, a headland on the Bosphorus approach, prompting the evacuation operation. No injuries or pollution were immediately reported, and the condition of the ship and its cargo was not detailed. The incident matters because the Bosphorus is one of the world's busiest maritime chokepoints, so groundings near its approaches can disrupt transit schedules and shipping traffic. What to watch next is whether the vessel is refloated or towed clear without affecting strait traffic, and whether salvage operations or an investigation into the engine failure follow.
