Following the news of the Med Bridge ship, arriving from Turkey, colliding with Renkine Island off the coast of Tripoli, Lebanon, and the evacuation of passengers, it was found that the ship was only stuck 3 meters on a rocky surface at the bow, making the issue simple and manageable at night. The collision site was inspected by professional divers, and tugboats were sent to pull the ship during the night. Communication with maritime experts has been ongoing since the morning, and the operation is expected to be completed by noon. The passengers, numbering 47, were evacuated at night for precaution and safety; the situation is under control, and the damage to the ship is very minimal.
