Off Anadolu Lighthouse in Beykoz, Istanbul, the 97-meter steel-laden ship BYB OTHELLO, en route from Kocaeli to Ukraine, ran aground due to engine failure. As intervention from the sea was not possible due to severe weather and sea conditions, the 13 crew members on board were evacuated from land by the land rescue team using the traditional breeches buoy system.

The steel-laden ship named 'BYB OTHELLO' ran aground off Anadolu Feneri in Beykoz, Istanbul, due to an engine failure.
