12 castaways repatriated
12 Filipino crew members of the 'Gas Aura' have been successfully repatriated on the night of July 24, after surviving the two attacks on their vessel, while the tanker was anchored in the Black Sea, on July 12 and 15. They arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) - Terminal 3 via Turkish Airlines Flight TK084 and were reunited with their families. The heavily damaged 'Gas Aura' was towed to Aliaga by the tug 'Ayaz Bey' (IMO: 7531670) a.o. for recycling, as it was found to be beyond an economical repair. On Aug 28 the convoy transited the Bosphorus. The tanker was delivered at the scrapyard on Aug 30. Photos: https://www.forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=233593#p233593
Two LPG tankers attacked by drones
The 'Gas Aura' was struck by a drone near Kavkaz, Russia, on July 15, 2026, injuring two Filipino crew members. They were taken aboard another Panama-flagged LPG tanker, the ' Gas Nero' (IMO: 9109316) On July 16, the 'Gas Nero' safely transferred the injured seafarers to a Turkish Coast Guard helicopter off Sinop. After completing the medical evacuation, the 'Gas Nero' resumed its voyage through Black Sea, but was then herself hit by a drone that triggered fire in one of the forward tanks. The tanker requested assistance, and a firefighting tug was dispatched under the coordination of Turkey's Samsun Port Authority. Despite the attack, the 'Gas Nero' was able to continue its voyage and arrived in Trabzon for repairs on July 17.
