The ship was rapidly overcome without any resistance shown by the crew, following which it was led into Ashdod Port for further inspection and offloading. The Vessel was on its way from the Turkish port of Mersin to Alexandria Port in Egypt. Prior to docking at Mersin, the vessel had visited the ports of Latakia in Syria and Beirut in Lebanon. 3 containers packed with military arsenal were discovered, among them 2 Chinese made C-704 missiles, presently used by the Iranians, alongside instruction manuals in Farsi.
