by time news

In Istanbul, traffic on the Bosphorus has been restored after the completion of the towing of the RAVA tanker, the Turkish Coast Guard Directorate said. Traffic on the strait was suspended today, May 28, in the evening due to a tanker that lost control.

“The tanker was towed from the Bosphorus and delivered to the anchorage. Traffic on the Bosphorus is reopened, ”the coast guard said (quoted by RIA Novosti).

RAVA with oil began to drift towards the coast due to a breakdown of the steering. Coast Guard tugs stopped him 300 meters from the shore. A tanker flying the Croatian flag followed from Novorossiysk to Spanish Cartagena. There are no casualties and no damage to the environment.
