Med Beykoz Container Ship Disabled in Dardanelles

The container ship Med Beykoz experienced a mechanical failure while transiting the Dardanelles Strait towards the Aegean Sea. According to a statement from the Turkish Coast Guard, the vessel was safely towed by tugboats to the anchorage area known as the 'Mokhtaf.' Authorities confirmed that maritime traffic in the strait is currently operating normally. The Dardanelles is a critical maritime passage connecting the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean Sea, frequently used by commercial shipping. The swift response ensured no disruption to navigation or safety hazards in the busy waterway.
