On the early morning hours of February 27, the 136 meter long, 9503 container ship Oyster (IMO: 9418884) became disabled on the Bosporus near Kandilli, Turkey. The Oyster was heading to Novorossiysk from Ambarli when it suffered engine failure.  Unable to restart the engines, the vessel alerted authorities and requested assistance. The KEGM dispatched the tugs Kurtarma 7 (IMO: 9598608) and Kurtarma 12 (IMO: 9854404) which took the container ship under tow. The vessels then proceeded to Büyükdere where the Oyster dropped anchor.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
