Big Bang in trouble
The "Big Bang" suffered engine failure at Çanakkale on May 30, 2016, at 09.38 a.m. in the Dardanelles while transiting in southern direction. The tugs "Kurtarma 4" and "Kurtarma 9" were sent to assist, and the disabled vessel was brought to an anchorage in the Kumkale–Kepez area in the southern part of the Strait. The bulkcarrier with a crew of 22 and a cargo of 169032 tons iron ore on board was en route from Yuzhne, where it had sailed on May 22, to China at the time of the trouble.
