TURKEY-SHIPPING-ACCIDENT-SIERRA LEONE
Crew members of a cargo ship from Sierra Leone react as they wait for help in Istanbul on January 20, 2012. A cargo ship crashed into two other ships docked near Zeytinburnu today as it was trying to drop anchor and appeared to be sinking, news reports said. Television footage shows the Sierra Leone-flagged Kayan-1, carrying containers, tilting on its right side today as crew members pumped out water that apparently seeped in through a crack. Maritime authorities dispatched coast guard boats to help the 86-meter (282-feet) freighter as a tugboat waited nearby to tow it. The Kayan 1 vessel reportedly crashed into the Dutch-flagged Slochterdiep and Tanzania-flagged Adria Blu as it drifted due to strong winds while trying to drop anchor. The two docked ships were reportedly slightly damaged in the crash and efforts are still under way to prevent Kayan 1 from sinking. AFP PHOTO/ BULENT KILIC
