Some suppliers continue to deliver LSMGO stems through trucks at other berths in Iskenderun, a trader says.

Many containers went overboard due to the incident and some oil spills were sighted around the vessel. The port authority has deployed booms around the vessel to contain the oil leaks, sources say.

Turkey's maritime authority stated that it has recovered 24 containers that fell into the water and has implemented necessary protocols.
