Shipping traffic in the Dardanelles Strait has been suspended in both directions due to limited visibility caused by heavy fog, according to the Navigation Control Service.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Service announced that ship traffic was halted at 06:17 local time as a precautionary measure. "Ship traffic will resume once the fog clears," the statement said.
The Dardanelles Strait is a critical waterway for international shipping, connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. Authorities are monitoring the situation and will provide updates as conditions improve. (ILKHA)
