Turkish authorities at the port of Samsun are selling a general cargoship stuck there since April 2016.

An auction notice said the 5,400-dwt Petr Hamitov (built 1987) will be offloaded on 29 May in the city.

There is no electricity on board and a land-based mobile generator is being used for basic needs.

The vessel has no class and has some damage to bulwarks.
