The Turkish Directorate General of Coastal Safety (KEGM) on Tuesday (11 February) reported a fuel leakage at Ahırkapı Anchorage Area.

KEGM said the fuel leakage was caused by Liberia-flagged crude oil tanker JAG, leading to pollution in the area. It did not specify how much fuel leaked from the vessel. 

Several media outlets have reported that the incident occurred during a bunkering operation at the anchorage involving JAG and oil products tanker Gokdeniz. 

In response to the incident, KEGM deployed two vessels, KEGM-3 and KEGM-4, its environmental barge and a tugboat accompanied by its Rescue Specialist.
