12月26日,在悬挂巴拿马国旗的油轮Cordelia Moon遭遇发动机故障后,伊斯坦布尔繁忙的博斯普鲁斯海峡的船舶交通暂时停止。
这艘274米长的原油油轮在前往俄罗斯新罗西斯克的途中空车行驶,但在伊斯坦布尔亚洲一侧附近的Beykoz区附近抛锚。
土耳其海岸安全总局派遣了三艘救援拖船——Kurtama-8、Kurtama-10和Kurtama-11——来拖这艘搁浅的船只。
油轮已安全转移到Ahirkapi锚地,使双向船舶交通得以恢复。
由一家印度公司管理的Cordelia Moon此前曾在10月份遭到胡塞武装的袭击。袭击涉及无人机、导弹和一艘炸弹船,视频显示该船的安全团队试图消除威胁。
这艘油轮正在进行维修,在前往俄罗斯的途中是空载的。
在一起类似的事件中,悬挂巴拿马国旗的114米长的油轮纳赞号(Nazan)在从俄罗斯穿越博斯普鲁斯海峡前往土耳其科卡埃利(Kocaeli)时发生了方向舵故障。
同样,在8月,一艘34,800载重吨的成品油油轮Sredina遭遇发动机故障,导致海峡上的交通再次暂时中断。
博斯普鲁斯海峡是世界上最繁忙的水道之一,连接黑海、马尔马拉海和地中海。它对国际贸易至关重要,但由于通道狭窄和频繁的机械故障,很容易中断。
希腊当局本周早些时候拘留了一艘身份不明的油轮,此前该油轮在比雷埃夫斯与一艘货船相撞。虽然没有人员受伤的报告,但当局正在调查这起碰撞事件。
过去两天,伊斯坦布尔的强风和恶劣天气减缓了海上作业。伊斯坦布尔和布尔萨之间的渡轮服务也因天气状况而取消。
土耳其官员保证,他们的反应小组迅速采取行动,以确保安全并尽量减少延误。他们继续调查海峡中这些反复机械故障的原因。

Ship traffic in Istanbul’s busy Bosphorus Strait was temporarily suspended on December 26 after the Panamanian-flagged tanker Cordelia Moon suffered an engine failure.
The 274-meter-long crude oil tanker was travelling empty to Novorossiysk, Russia, when it broke down near Istanbul’s Asian side, close to the Beykoz district.
Turkey’s Directorate General of Coastal Safety dispatched three rescue tugs- Kurtarma-8, Kurtarma-10, and Kurtarma-11- to tow the stranded vessel.
The tanker was safely moved to the Ahirkapi Anchorage Area, allowing ship traffic to resume in both directions.
The Cordelia Moon, managed by an Indian company, had previously sustained damage in an attack by the Houthi forces in October. The attack involved drones, missiles, and a bomb boat, with videos showing the vessel’s security team trying to neutralise the threat.
The tanker was undergoing repairs and was empty for its journey to Russia.
In a similar incident, the Panamania-flagged Nazan, a 114-meter-long tanker, experienced a rudder failure while travelling through the Bosphorus from Russia to Kocaeli, Turkiye.
Similarly, in August, the Sredina, a 34,800 dwt product tanker, suffered an engine malfunction, causing another temporary suspension of the traffic on the strait.
The Bosphorus Strait, one of the world’s busiest waterways, connects the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea and the Mediterranean. It is vital for international trade but is prone to disruptions due to the narrow passage and frequent mechanical failures.
Greek authorities earlier this week detained an unidentified tanker after it collided with a cargo ship in Piraeus. While no injuries were reported, authorities are investigating the collision.
Over the past two days, strong winds and bad weather in Istanbul slowed down maritime operations. Ferry services between Istanbul and Bursa were also cancelled due to the conditions.
Turkish officials have assured that their response teams acted quickly to ensure safety and minimise delays. They continue to investigate the causes of these repeated mechanical failures in the strait.
