It was launched on 9 February 2017 and completed for the company Es Group Denizcilik Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi on 29 May 2017.

That evening, after the ship brought up anchor and was off the Marble Cape, it began to take on water in its front portion.

Its captain called the local maritime authority, which sent the tugboat Rescue-6 to assist Kanuni.

Before the tugboat arrived, the captain of Kanuni maneuvered the ship towards the shore, and managed to ground it in order to prevent its sinking.

The crew spent the night on board despite the front section being completely submerged, and the ship was checked for safety by Coast Guard teams.
