Chemically Loaded Ship Came Too Close to the Shore in the Bosphorus

A ship loaded with chemicals, sailing in the Bosphorus, got out of control and began to drift. The giant ship, which was caught in the current and deviated from its route, was able to stop only meters away from the Istanbul coastline.

Following the incident, security measures in the region were increased to the highest level, and the possible effects of the chemical substances carried by the ship on the environment were examined. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, which is said to be on the verge of a possible environmental disaster.
