Should Blueoceana Company come upon further information, it will appear here as an <strong>UPDATE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE<\/strong> &#8211; 17 March 2024:  News reaching us (<em>See <\/em>link immediately below) indicates terminal operator Evyapport&#8217;s damage loss estimate of U.S. $40,000,000 in the aftermath of yesterday&#8217;s accident. The updated <strong>Kocaeli TV<\/strong> media account also alleges that there were no injuries, in a statement which contradicts news accounts which represent that one crane operator was severely injured (<em>See<\/em> <strong>The Maritime Executive<\/strong> media account, also below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information which we believe to be accurate, provides that Evyapport entered into a partnership with DP World in 2023 in the operation of this terminal and an adjacent one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object
