Turkey has joined the search for 20 people still missing after a passenger ferry capsized off the northern coast of Cyprus.
The deep-sea search and rescue vessel TCG Isin is heading to the island to support the operation. It is expected to play a key role in locating Filo Jet’s voyage data recorder, which lies 514 metres below the surface.
The high-speed ferry sank on Sunday, about four nautical miles from the port town of Kyrenia. The vessel will join the wider effort to find survivors and recover information from the sunken ferry.
