On January 13, the 138 meter long, 4515 dwt cargo vessel Fener (IMO: 8888862) ran aground in the Mediterranean Sea approximately 5 miles west of the northern entrance to the Suez Canal. The Fener departed from Turkey bound for East Port Said to load a cargo of salt. When the vessel approached Port Said weather conditions were poor so the Fener requested to wait in the anchorage area until weather improves.
Authorities would later receive an alert from the Fener that the vessel had suffered a breach in a hold with water ingress. Fearing the vessel would sink, the Fener headed to the shallows where it was intentionally grounded.
