Sinking Ship Search in Marmara Sea Resumes: Crew Still Missing

The search for the crew of a sunken cargo ship near İmralı Island of Marmara Sea resumed at daybreak. Overnight, an underwater robot inspected the ship at a depth of 51 meters, finding no signs of the 6 missing crew members. Divers are poised to dive today if weather conditions allow. The ship, laden with marble dust, sank in a storm after departing from Balıkesir’s Marmara Island. Search efforts, involving various teams and ministries, continued intensively by air, land, and sea throughout the night. A crisis center has been relocated to the Kurşunlu region of Karacabey.
