Tanker rescued 47 migrants
On Oct 25, 2026, the 'Ivyan' of the shipping company West Ace Tanker & Shipping has rescued 47 migrants. The tanker was en route to Egypt when it received when it was alerted on the emergency Channel 16 frequency. Following the instructions from the authorities, the tanker proceeded 44 miles south of the remote Greek island of Gavdos to conduct an SAR operation. The migrants, who had been drifting in a small inflatable boat with a single engine, were taken aboard until 11 a.m. and were provided with the necessary care. They were handed over to the Greek Coast Guard four hours later, after which the 'Ivyan' resumed its voyage. The migrants were reportedly from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sudan, and had departed from Libya. They were transferred to the port of Tigani in Paleochora. From there, they were taken by bus, accompanied by officers of the Special Missions Unit of the Central Port Authority of Chania, to a temporary accommodation area in Agia Chania. A 17-year-old national of Sudan was arrested for violating article 83 of Law 3386/2005 "Illegal entry into the country", article 25 of Law 5038/23 "Facilitating", Law 5275/2026 "Promotion of legal immigration policies" and article 306 of the Criminal Code "Reporting", as he was recognised by the other occupants on the boat as the smuggler who transported them, in exchange for money, from Tobruk, Libya to Greece. A preliminary investigation was conducted by the Central Port Authority of Chania. On the whole 22 migrant boats were intercepted between Oct 19 and Oct 27, carrying a total of 1,052 people. One fatal incident was reported among them, when six people drowned on Oct 19 near the island of Samos. Besides the 'Ivyan', the 'Lady Khadija' and the 'Lady Zhera' intervened south of Crete in the past 72 hours to pick up a total of 135 people from precarious boats.

Tanker disabled off Kanlıca
On Oct 11, 2026, at 7.10 p.m. the 'Ivyan', en route from Varna to Monopoli, carrying 6,000 tons of vegetable oil, began drifting shortly after passing Kanlıca in the Bosphorus due to an engine failure. Following the incident, vessel traffic in the Bosphorus was suspended in both directions, and Coastal Safety teams were dispatched to the area. The lifeboats 'Kiyem 4' (MMSI: (MMSI: 271042658), 'Tahlisiye 2' (MMSI: 271047153) and 'Tahlisiye 9' (MMSI: 271047160), along with the tugs 'Kurtarma 7' (IMO: 9598608) and 'Kurtarma 11' (IMO: 9854399) were sent to assist. The tanker had initially made a u-turn after the failure, thereby coming very close to residential buildings and the historic Kanlıca ferry terminal. It then dropped both bow anchors and was then towed by the ' Kurtarma 7' to the Küçükçekmece Anchorage Area, where it was safely moored in pos. 40° 56' N 028° 45' E and remained stationary as of Oct 12.
