Southbound ship traffic is set to resume at 1600 GMT in Turkey's Dardanelles Strait on Friday after a tanker experienced engine failure, shipping agent Tribeca said.
Earlier, Tribeca said that the Mozambique-flagged ship Boston Beacon suffered an engine failure in the Nara area and that two assistance vessels were sent to the scene.
The strait connects the Marmara and Aegean seas and is the export route from the Black Sea to world markets.
