Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Turkey has resumed shipping traffic through the Bosphorus Strait, which had to be suspended due to a malfunction of the oil tanker Cordelia Moon, which was heading to Russia. This was reported on December 26 by Reuters, citing the shipping agency Tribeca. Transit through the strait was opened at 17:40 Moscow time. According to the Turkish Ministry of Transport, the vessel, whose engine failed, was towed using cables. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 26, traffic along the Bosphorus was temporarily stopped in both directions due to problems with a 274-meter-long tanker heading to Novorossiysk. The vessel, flying the Panamanian flag, broke down near the Yenikoy quarter while en route from Yalova, Turkey. The ship blocked the main fairway used for traffic in the southern direction.
