Istanbul, April 17 () - An insurance company from the United Kingdom will cover the damages to the historical Hekimbaşı Salih Efendi Yalısı, after a ship crashed into the waterfront mansion on the Bosphorus, Noyan Doğan said in his column on Hürriyet.
A warrant of seizure has been ruled for the ship related to the $50 million cost and the Maltese tanker Vitaspirit is currently not allowed to be moved.
In his column, Doğan looked into the details of covering the damages, as it had been unclear who would cover the cost and how.





In the first phase, the company is expected to pay $50 million to ensure the ship will continue to travel. Later, they will assess the damages and try to negotiate with the owners, Doğan added.
The Bosphorus is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. In 2017, 42,000 military, naval and commercial vessels passed through the strait.
