General cargo ships BURHAN DIZMAN and TURAN C collided at Ahirkapi Anchorage, Istanbul, Marmara sea, in the afternoon Dec 2. Looks like TURAN C struck already anchored BURHAN DIZMAN, while proceeding to her anchorage. Both ships remained at Anchorage with TURAN C taken further off her designated anchorage, shortly after collision. BURHAN DIZMAN obviously, sustained serious damages portside in superstructure area, TURKAN C suffered bow and forecastle damages. TURKAN C was en route to Constanta, BURHAN DIZMAN was en route to Novorossiysk.
