Fog disrupts maritime traffic in Istanbul Strait

ISTANBUL

Maritime transportation in the Istanbul Strait has been suspended in both directions due to heavy fog, the Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Ministry said on Thursday.

Adverse weather conditions affecting the Turkish metropolis since the morning have disrupted vessel traffic in the strait, which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and from there to the Aegean and Mediterranean.
