Grounding at Ereğli
In Zonguldak's Ereğli district the "Berra G" was dragged onto the ground by a storm in the night of Jan 18, 2018. The crew of 12 were rescued by Ereğli Municipality fire crews. The vessel had been enroute from İzmir to Rostov-on-Don and stranded in the shipyard area in Ereğli-Alaplı. When it hit the rocks it split in the middle. A large number of ambulances were sent by the Ereğli Municipality Fire Department. The crew was evacuated via ropes. Among them were 5 Azerbaijanis, 3 Georgian, 1 Ukrainian and 3 Turks. After about 1 hour and 15 minutes of rescue work, all were safe ashore and delivered to the emergency service crews. The Coast Guard and port authority officials said measures would be taken to prevent the 26 tons of diesel from leaking into the sea. They were to be discharged with the tank trucks. Oil booms were laid out, and on Jan 20 the fuel removal operation was in progress.
