Towage operation

13 Feb 2021 / Bosphorus, Turkey

VTS Istanbul this morning (13 February) sent tugboats to tow a vessel to anchorage after it reported its fuel reducing on board while navigating north to south in the Bosphorus Strait.

Planned south-to-north vessel traffic in the Bosphorus was suspended due to the towage operation in the Strait, but continued in the north-to-south direction.
