23 Mar 2020 / Canakkale Straits, Turkey
The latest Turkish Government decision bans people of 65 years-old from public areas. As a result, some of the older pilots (over 60) in the Turkish Straits are out of service.
On 20, 21 and 23 March, two-way traffic was observed in the Canakkale Strait, contrary to the VTS application of the last 6 months. The latest application was mainly one-way (convoy) traffic that was succeeded by adding an average of two daylight-restricted vessels per day.
The waiting period for Canakkale northbound was less than one day during the first week of March. It rose to just under two days in mid-March and today (23 March) reached three days.
GAC Turkey anticipates that the Canakkale waiting period may increase to up to a week period due to COVID-19 and its consequences.
