Turkish ship sinks off Samos in Aegean Sea
The Turkish-flagged fertilizer-laden Dogu Haslaman sank near the Greek island of Samos in the Aegean Sea while en route from Ukraine to Israel, the Greek coast guard said.
The 12 crew has been picked up by another Turkish vessel that happened to be nearby. The stricken ship issued a distress signal on December 27 when she had been half-sunk some 18 nm off the coast of Samos.
