The maritime world is mourning the tragic loss of Halit Yukay, a beloved and influential figure in the industry. After 19 harrowing days of search, Halit was found — sadly, trapped in his own vessel, 68 meters beneath the sea.
Halit was more than a remarkable professional; he was a person whose friendship, creativity, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him. The sea was not just his workplace — it was his home, his passion, and his lifelong companion. His dedication to maritime innovation and his genuine spirit enriched the lives of colleagues, friends, and the broader maritime community alike.
While his passing leaves an irreplaceable void, the memories of Halit’s warmth, humor, and vision remain with those who were fortunate enough to know him. The maritime world will always remember him with respect, admiration, and deep affection.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his family, loved ones, and all who mourn his loss. May his soul rest in peace, and may the seas he cherished forever remain calm and endless.
