TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A cargo ship collided with shore in Istanbul’s Bosphorus strait on Friday, prompting authorities to close the picturesque and crowded waterway running through Turkey’s largest city.
There were no immediate reports of casualties, according to Reuters.
The Tribeca Shipping Agency said the Bosphorus was closed to traffic.
The Liberian-flagged Songa Iridum was headed for the port of Ambarli in Istanbul, according to Refinitiv Eikon shipping data.
