This cruise was also an opportunity to perform coring in Kumburgaz basin with a light gravity corer provided by İTÜ. The frame was successfully recovered. The bottom pressure recorder functioned until battery failure August 14, 2018. The other instrument (a Seaguard doppler recording current meter equipped with additional sensors) had failed during descent because of an insulation fault on a sensor and did not provide any useful data. The instrumented frame was redeployed at the planned location without incident. PY 2018 DI 10.13155/74224 ID 74224 ER EF
