The MIDVOLGA-2 tanker, attacked 80 miles offshore while sailing from Russia to Georgia, is now anchored off Sinop in Türkiye. Escorted into Turkish waters by Coast Guard teams, the ship is awaiting expert inspectors to determine whether it can safely continue its journey.
Türkiye’s Maritime Authority said the tanker, carrying sunflower oil and crewed by 13 people, has not requested assistance and reached Sinop under its own power
