The vessel reportedly stuck at the port since February 2022 (February), was run by Cayeli Shipping.
A shipping source mentioned that there are 12 Turkish vessels trapped in ports of Ukraine, including in Kherson, that aren’t covered by the Black Sea grain deal that the UN brokers.
There was an attack on 24 January, most likely on the port, and an explosive charge seems to have hit the vessel. The source mentioned that a skeleton crew operates Turkish vessels currently in Kherson, so there aren’t any injuries or casualties.
