The Dardanelles Strait witnessed a complete halt in maritime traffic today due to dense fog enveloping the region.
The Dardanelles Strait Vessel Traffic Services Directorate issued a notice to all ship captains traveling from both the north and south, declaring the closure of the strait to two-way transit ship passages effective from 02:05.
Visibility at sea has plummeted as the fog thickened, leading to significant challenges for navigation. This weather event has also caused sporadic interruptions in local ferry services operating in the nearby Bosphorus Strait.
Authorities have stated that ship traffic is expected to resume once the fog dissipates. Mariners and local commuters are advised to stay updated on weather conditions and follow directives from maritime traffic control for safety and operational continuity. (ILKHA)
