Passenger ro-ro ship ANATOLIAN left Mogadisho Port, Somalia, on Jul 3, bound for Alang India, most probably for dismantling. On Jul 19 EUNAVFOR ATALANTA Command was alerted by distress signal or message from the ship, reporting total blackout, lack of supplies. Spanish frigate ESPS NUMANCIA and other Naval units responded, technicians teams failed to restore power and propulsion, and ANATOLIAN finally, was taken on tow, to be towed to Bosasso Somalia, Gulf of Aden. The ship arrived at Bosasso or Bosasso Anchorage on Jul 22. Navies delivered on board of distressed ship food and fresh water. Commercial towage is hampered by adverse weather. Ship’s last AIS position dated Jul 10.
