A Turkish cargoship has grounded on a breakwater after losing control.

Local media said the 1,600-dwt Emine Anne (built 1996) got into difficulty off Canakkale on 20 July.

It was heading from Constanta to Ancona with a cargo of iron and a crew of nine.

The master asked for help from Turkish authorities and a coast guard boat was sent.

The ship is operated by Cakiroglu Deniz Tasima.
