Russia has dispatched special teams and two salvage ships to Istanbul to raise the "Liman" that sank off Turkey’s Black Sea coast on April 27 after colliding with the "Youzarsif H" 29 kilometers off of Kilyos. The Russian Navy sent one of its most advanced search and rescue ships, the "Seliger", as well as a new-generation rescue ship, the "SB-739". The teams consisting of 16 naval personnel, nine specialists and a deep-water dive team would work to retrieve sensitive devices from the wreckage of the ship. If necessary, the whole ship can be salvaged from the sea, however, the climatic conditions in the Black Sea could present difficulties to the personnel. Russia has search and rescue rights because the ship sank in international waters. The Turkish authorities had not received any requests for assistance from Moscow. The collision was caused by fog and low visibility. The "Youzarsif H." immediately proceeded to Romania after the incident out of concern for the health condition of the animals onboard. It berthed at Capu Midia on Apr 26.
