Turkiye: Fog shuts down traffic in Bosphorus Strait

ISTANBUL, March 10 (KUNA) -- Heavy fog led to the shutdown of vessel traffic in Istanbul's Bosphorus Strait early Sunday, said a statement by a Turkish entity.
The crossings of ships from both directions were suspended this morning due to fog in the Bosphorus Strait over a decrease in visibility, said a statement by the General Directorate of Coastal Safety. The Bosphorus Strait is one of the busiest sea routes in the region, and the narrowest transcontinental strait in the world. (end) ta.ahm
