According to foreign media reports, on the morning of January 31, a large container ship of MSC with a capacity of 12,400 TEU, "MSC MARIA SAVERIA" entered the Dardanelles from the Aegean Sea, suffered a mechanical failure when the ship was travelling from Saudi Arabia. The Arabs are on their way to the port of Marmara in Turkey.
Then Dardanelles Traffic Control Center deployed two tugboats to control the faulty container ship. Although the MSC ship may have recovered some of its power soon, she was forbidden to continue crossing the border and was escorted back to anchor in the Aegean Sea by two tugboats.
