The Turkish dry cargo ship "Tuğberk İmamoğlu" sank in just 11 minutes after an incident in the Black Sea.
Modern.az reports that, according to Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, the ship was carrying 4,199 tons of rolled steel from Iskenderun to Ereğli on the Black Sea coast.
There were 10 crew members on board the ship at the time of the incident.
It is reported that no information was received from the ship after the incident. Calls to the crew members' mobile phones also went unanswered. For this reason, it was assumed that the ship had sunk.
Currently, the search for survivors among the ship's crew members continues off the coast of Silivri. According to preliminary information, no crew members have been found so far.
The circumstances of the incident and why the ship sank in such a short time after the accident are being investigated.
