Turkish naval forces have found the wreck of the Tugberk Imamoglu, which sank after colliding with another ship in the Marmara Sea off Istanbul.
The Turkish Defence Ministry said on Friday that the wreck was found by the TCB Istakoz-2 remotely operated vehicle (ROV) from the Turkish Navy’s TCG Akin rescue and towing vessel.
The ship was found at a depth of hundreds of meters below the sea.
“Our Naval Forces units continue their work in a coordinated manner,” the ministry said.
The TCG Akin has been working at the site since the accident on Wednesday.
