  •         Special İnfos for Straits:
    *all vessels which will pass through the Turkish Straits should advise their arrival details (SP1 report) at least 24 hours before to arrival to the first Turkish Strait at each way.
    *Any change of SP1 must be updated immediately through the ship agent.
    *If there is any failure of AIS system, pls inform us 48 hrs advance or latst by SP1 report.
    *All vessels anchoring to Istanbul Roads should take permission from VTS Kadikoy by VHF Channel 14.
    *all stays including supplies/crew change/repairs are permitted(without increase on dues) within 48 hours at anchorage.
    *All vessels have right to drift and to take supply(excluding bunkers&FW) at roads without anchoring.
    *vessels staying at anchorage more than 48 hours are obliged to change their status from "Transit" to "Free Pratique".
    This causes an increase in transit dues of "light dues" and "sanitary dues".
    *Following mistakes may cause a very high penalty in Turkish waters including straits:
    -Throwing garbage to the sea
    -Cleaning/washing weather deck.
    -Paint drops to the sea.
