On Jan 27, 2017 at 4:50 p.m., the "Bereket", being anchored in the Ahırkapı area of Istanbul, started to sink. The lifeboat "Kıyı Emniyeti 4" and the tug "Şark" were alerted. They found there was no crew on board, and there was a heavy water ingress in the living quarters and the cargo holds, so that the ship became semi-submerged with part of the accomodation block and the foreship still showing above the water. The Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications was notified and deployed the "Kıyı Emniyeti 6" in addition to the two other ships.
