The 30 meter long passenger vessel Didim Mavisi caught fire in the Aegean Sea near Sarımsaklı’dan, Turkey.  The fire started in the galley when the crew was preparing to cook fish for lunch.   The fire quickly spread from the galley until the whole vessel was engulf in flames.   The master of the vessel proceeded back towards shore to a nearby cove.  There the vessel dropped anchor where local boats came out to rescue.  The boats rescued the majority of people, but some passengers decided to jump into the sea and swim ashore.   No reported injuries to the 100 passengers on board or crew.   The Didim Mavisi later burned to the waters edge.

The 81 meter long, 2300 dwt freighter Kelarvi collided with the small passenger vessel Rossi on the Neva River near St. Petersburg, Russia.   The small vessel crossed the path of the freighter when the two vessels collided. The smaller Rossi quickly turned sideways caught on the freighter’s bow until it swung away and capsized.   The damage hull flooded with water nearly submerging the entire boat.   The 13 passengers on board were luckily on the upper deck.  Many fell overboard and were later rescued by nearby vessels.   Ten people were injured and were taken to hospital.  Authorities report that the Rossi’s two crew were at fault for the collision and that criminal charges have been filed.  The Kelarvi suffered only minor damage and no injuries to the crew.
