On November 19, the cargo vessel Antakya ran aground in the Dardanelles off Nara, Turkey.  The Antakya was headed to Yalova from Marmara Ereglisi with 2500 tons of cement when it suffered rudder failure. Unable to steer, the Antakya ran aground.  Two tugs were dispatched and the Antakya was pulled freed a short time later. The Antakya was towed to a nearby anchorage.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
