Turkish Ship "Haci Emine Ana" grounded in Venice after alliding with port constructions June 23, 2011.
Turkish cargo ship Haci Emine Ana that docked in Venice has suffered damage that led to skid at the mouth of Malamocco, going to hit the bow of a building site Moses , the system of floodgates anti-high water. This was announced by the Port of Venice, intervened to rescue the freighter. The ship, carrying wheat, did not report any particular damage and there were spills into the lagoon.For a first estimate of the damage to the building site of Moses, according to sources of the Consorzio Venezia Nuova, would seem slight. The site of the alarm system worked perfectly: as the ship "drift" out of control, heading towards the south pier of Malamocco, were brought into the sirens which have alerted the workers, allowing them to merge into a point of safety. The Turkish ship "Haci Emine Ana" , 117 meters long and a gross tonnage of 4923 tons, has probably been no failure in the propulsion system, which has made it uncontrollable. The bow is what happened to 'crawl' the tip of the embankment of the navigation lock, protected by a wall 'combination' of pipes and sheet piles, one of the works for the construction of Moses. Intervened at the scene shortly after a tug of society 'Panfido' along with a Coast Guard patrol boat, which escorted the Turkish ship to the safe harbor. The staff of the Port Authority is continuing investigations to determine the exact cause of the accident.
