On Sunday morning, the captain of the ship reported that the vessel was heading in the direction of a breakwater.
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said that Turkish rescue crews searched on Monday for 11 crew members who went missing from a cargo ship that sank off the coast of the Black Sea during storms that killed at least nine people, including one from the ship.
He reported that the Turkish-flagged Kafkametler, carrying twelve crew members, had sunk off the coast of Eregli in the Zonguldak region of northwest Turkey, and that one crew member’s body had been recovered.
On Sunday morning, the captain of the ship reported that the vessel was heading towards a breakwater at Eregli and Yerlikaya. It’s possible that the vessel then struck the building.

Strong storms that struck the area on Sunday made it impossible for air and sea vessels to conduct searches until Monday am.
Yerlikaya informed reporters that four people had died in Batman, a province in southeast Turkey, three had died in Zonguldak, and a fourth had died in Diyarbakir, also in southeast Turkey, as a result of storms and flooding that occurred throughout the course of the weekend in Turkey.
