Turkish company to send aid ships to house 3,000 in Hatay

Turkish energy company Karadeniz holdings said it would send two humanitarian ships to help the aid effort in Hatay and house 1,500 people. 

Karadeniz said this would be their first-ever humanitarian mission and planned to send their "life ships" to Hatay, the epicentre of Monday’s earthquake. 

The company told Reuters in a statement that life ships typically have accommodation, fridges, heating and facilities for education, healthcare and food. 

Globally, Karadeniz is famous for its 36 floating power plants.
