06 Oct 2020 / Dardanelles, Turkey
Construction of the 1915 Canakkale Bridge is underway and expected to be completed around the first quarter of 2022, with a planned air draft in the Dardanelles of 66-70 metres.
For arriving vessels with an air draft 66-70 metres, the assigned agent for the Turkish Straits musty notify the authorities at least 30 days prior to arrival, in order to obtain sailing permission to transit the Dardanelles.
Until work to install the bridge deck begins, arriving vessels with an air draft of 73-92 metres may be able to transit. During this period, vessels planning to transit with an air draft of 70 metres and over contact their agent to confirm transit possibilities.
After the bridge deck installation work begins, air draft restrictions will be applied with a maximum of 70 metres. Arriving vessels with an air draft of 70 metres and over will NOT be allowed to transit at Dardanelles.
