Drone attack damaged container cargo
The 'Aurelia', en route from Russia’s Novorossiysk port to Samsun with 16 crew members on board, seven of whom were Turkish nationals., was targeted by a Ukrainian drone at the starboard side, approximately 80-90 nautical miles off the coast of Samsun, on the night of Jan 17, 2025. As a result of the attack, several reefer containers loaded on the starboard side were damaged, and a fire broke out, which could later be extinguished by the crew. All 16 crew members, including seven Turkish nationals, were unharmed. Despite the incident, the 'Aurelia' remained fully maneuverable. The ship altered course and continued under controlled conditions to a safe port, arriving in Samsun on Jan 18 at around 2:30 p.m. LT. At least three 40-foot containers damaged, located three bays forward of the wheelhouse. The extent of cargo damage has not been disclosed. A crq r started removing the contai ers one by one. Turkish authorities confirmed that an investigation was underway, and no party has claimed responsibility for the attack. The 'Aurelia-’s transmissions were paused between Jan 13 and 17, shortly after the vessel passed northbound through the Bosporus — a common practice for ships operating in the Russian sector of the Black Sea. The vessel has frequently called at Novorossiysk in the past. Port state control records showed that the vessel has been cited for deficiencies on every inspection since 2018, with more than three dozen issues recorded in the past year alone.
