Ataman Finds the Umuyeri Banks

Ataman Finds the Umuyeri Banks

The 114 meter long, 3504 dwt freighter Ataman went aground while passing through the Bosporus.   The Coastal Safety at Instanbul sent out a rescue tug and pilot, but the master of the Ataman refused assistance.  The vessel was attempting to free itself by its own power.   The Ataman did not have a local pilot on board for the crossing of the Bosporus heading towards the Black Sea.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.
