Bosphorus Straight Shuts Down Due to Foggy Conditions
Rewritten Article:
Foggy seas have compelled Turkish coastal services to suspend vessel traffic through the Bosphorus Strait, as reported by TGRT Haber, citing Turkey's Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.
In a statement, the ministry disclosed that navigation through the Bosphorus has been briefly halted in both directions due to the reduced visibility.
Currently, there are no substantial commercial vessels in the strait, according to TASS, with city ferries soldiering on under restricted conditions.
rbc.group also reported that the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits experienced closure due to fog – a phenomenon that, regrettably, I couldn't pinpoint its exact reoccurrence. Notably, this low-visibility incident impacted ground transportation as well as previously stated in December 2024. I suggest you directly consult with rbc.group or other maritime news outlets for comprehensive, up-to-date information.
Navigating the waters of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, essential for global shipping, can sometimes be disrupted by fog, along with other factors. So keep your eyes peeled for updates from trusted sources.
