Star Harmony Successfully Refloated After Grounding Incident
On December 23, the bulk carrier Star Harmony was successfully refloated after being grounded for three days. The vessel, which was carrying a cargo of 47,500 tons of corn, was assisted by an impressive fleet of tugs, including Kurtarma 3, Kurtarma 8, Kiyem 6, Fener 1, and Erv Nene Hatun, all coordinated by the Istanbul Vessel Traffic Services. Following the refloat, Star Harmony navigated south towards Ahırkapı, successfully transiting the Bosphorus without further incidents. Once cleared, the vessel was moored off Istanbul for thorough inspections, with Kurtarma 3 and Kiyi Emniyeti 6 remaining on site to assist.
