Two bulk carriers loaded with grain, coming from Ukraine and Russia, collided in the Sea of Marmara

According to the General Directorate of the Turkish Coast Guard, near the Turkish island of Marmara, the bulk carrier Haje Halimeh, loaded with wheat, traveling from Izmail to Valencia, Spain, and the bulk carrier Asomatos, sailing from the port of Kavkaz (Krasnodar Territory) to Ashdod (Israel), collided. There was also grain on board.

The first bulk carrier is 122 meters long and flies under the flag of the Comoros Islands, the second is 169 meters long and flies under the flag of Panama.

“The vessels suffered material damage. During the inspections, no human casualties, injuries or environmental pollution were found,” writes the Turkish resource Kalem.

I hope the one with the greater damage on the right is the one coming from Russia. (If the pictures are indicative of the damage) We need as many ships as we can to get grain to the rest of world from Ukraine.

The left one is Asomatos, going from Russia to Israel. The right one is Haje Halimeh, going from Ukraine to Spain.

They are Panamanian and Comorian ships

I'm sure that money will go to good use propping up Iran's weapons manufacturing industry
