The movement of ships in the Bosphorus Strait was restored on Friday after a dry cargo ship carrying Ukrainian grain had run aground and blocked the maritime traffic, the Turkish Directorate General of Coastal Safety said.
"The strait is open for the movement of ships," the directorate tweeted.
Earlier on Friday, the Maritime Executive reported that the vessel has been refloated, and later reached the port of Istanbul.
According to Italian news agency Agi, the vessel is heading to the Italian port of Ravenna and is carrying 3 tonnes of Ukrainian grain.
