General cargo ship KAFKAMETLER drifted onto breakwater at Eregli entrance at around 1015 LT Nov 19. She was en route from Temryuk Russia to Aliaga, but at night Nov 18 had to call Eregli, trying to shelter from storm. She anchored, but was nevertheless, beached. No information yet on damages, salvage. 12 crew probably rescued. No AIS signal since grounding.
