Severe Fog Disrupts Transportation in Istanbul
The dense fog that appeared in the early hours of the morning in Istanbul is having a significant impact on sea transportation. Due to reduced visibility in the Bosphorus, ship traffic has been temporarily suspended in both directions, leading to cancellations of city line ferry services.
The Turkish Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure announced that ship traffic in the Bosphorus has been temporarily suspended due to limited visibility caused by fog. The Ministry stated, “Ship traffic in the Istanbul Bosphorus has been temporarily suspended in both directions due to restricted visibility (fog).”
