The Russian flagged dry cargo ship named 'Fortis', whose 10-person crew was evacuated after being attacked by a drone off the Black Sea coast, drifted and reached the coast of Giresun's Keşap district.

The Russian flagged dry cargo ship named 'Fortis', which set out to take 3 thousand 300 tons of chickpeas from Russia's Novorossiysk Port to Mersin, was attacked by a drone off the Black Sea. 10 crew members on the damaged ship were evacuated. The ship, which was moving uncontrolled and without a crew in the Black Sea, reached the coast of Keşap district of Giresun due to the effect of the current.

Coast Guard teams, who were dispatched to the region upon the notice of the fishermen in the region, towed the ship off the coast of Giresun Port and anchored it. After anchoring, smoke was detected in the warehouse section of the ship, which contained 3,300 tons of chickpeas. Giresun Port Port Management teams carried out sea cooling work against possible fire. It was learned that if the hatch covers of the ship are opened, the cargo will be unloaded to Giresun Port, and if the hatches cannot be opened, the ship will be towed to the shipyard with its cargo.
