Pilotage is not compulsory for transit basis vessels for Dardanelles & Bosphorus straits but we are strongly recommended that pilots be used during navigation through the Straits so as to minimize the risk of accidents as much as possible to use specialy during Bosphorus passage due to strong current and heavy traffic.
If vessel going to any Marmara Sea Ports or coming from any Marmara Sea Ports, Pilotage is compulsory for Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits.
Tanmar has been providing Transit & general agency service for all kind of vessels transiting through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits since 2022, and boat service during transit Dardanelles & Bosphorus and all kinds of supply services.
