Turkey halted maritime traffic through the Bosphorus Strait after one of the ships broke down on Friday.
Sparta, a 134 m (439 ft) long ship bound from Egypt to Bulgaria, broke down near Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Directorate General of Coastal safety said on Twitter.
Rescue ships and officials were sent to help the ship, which was towed to the Türkeli Anchorage, where it safely docked.
