In recent days, a series of measures were taken due to the
congestion caused by commercial vessels passing through the
Istanbul Strait, which is of vital importance for the efficient and
secure operation of the 'Grain Corridor' that plays a
crucial role in global food supply.
In a new circular titled 'Mooring Locations in the Istanbul
Strait,' distributed to the relevant parties on May 9, 2023,
the Directorate General of Maritime Affairs announced the new
decisions regarding vessels staying in mooring areas.
Accordingly, it has been decided to extend the maximum mooring
duration from 72 hours to 120 hours for the 'B°' and
'C°' mooring areas at the Kartal mooring site and the
southern entrance of the Istanbul Strait. The practice of
maintaining the maximum mooring duration of 72 hours in the
'A' mooring area at the southern entrance of the Istanbul
Strait will continue. Furthermore, the restriction that only
vessels below 5,000 gross tons are allowed to moor at the Kartal
mooring site will be lifted.
