The incident occurred at approximately 11:46 pm local time near Port Said, Egypt. No injuries or flooding were reported on the Truman, and its nuclear propulsion systems “are unaffected and in a safe and stable condition,” the US Navy emphasized in its statement. An investigation into the collision is currently underway. The Besiktas-M, a bulk carrier measuring over 188 meters in length with a deadweight of 53,000 tons, had recently transited the Suez Canal and was en route to the Black Sea port of Constanta, Romania, at the time of the collision. The USS Harry S. Truman, homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, had just completed a port call in Souda Bay, Greece, prior to the incident.
