Possible Kyrenia ferry wreck located at 550 meters
A Turkish Navy vessel has detected an object believed to be the wreckage of the Filo Jet passenger ferry at a depth of about 550 meters off Kyrenia, as efforts continue to find 20 people still missing from the disaster.
The TCG Işın located the object after beginning robotic scans of the seabed on Sept. 1, Turkish Cypriot President Tufan Erhürman said.
“An object believed to be the sunken vessel has been located. It was detected at 550 meters,” Erhürman said, stressing that its identity had yet to be confirmed.
The ship’s commander, Ulaş Cesur, said teams would first establish the object’s exact position and identity before using a remotely operated underwater vehicle to examine it in detail.
