Jan, Many thanks for your assistance on this with the Turkish Authorities. We have also been working closely with the Turkish Chamber of Shipping and its member in Mersin last week to try to get a suitable resolution to this case quickly. Please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything you wish us to ask them to do to assist in this regard.
