Bosphorus in Istanbul, a key waterway connecting the Marmara and Black Seas, temporarily halted shipping traffic today.
The Turkish Ministry of Transport said that this decision was due to thick fog that made navigation difficult and dangerous. The news was announced by the Anatolian Agency, highlighting the impact of weather conditions on maritime operations, BTA reports.
The fog did not only affect larger vessels, but also disrupted the daily operations of Istanbul's urban maritime transport.
The city's Municipal Ferry Service has announced that adverse weather conditions have forced a temporary change to the schedule, affecting commuters and passengers who rely on these services for their daily commutes.
