Turkey resumes ship traffic to the Black Sea through the straits

Turkey has once again allowed ships to pass through its straits toward the Black Sea after unexplained delays for some vessels amid increased security risks in the area.

Bloomberg reports.

The crude oil tanker Aegean Dream entered the Dardanelles strait after waiting since Thursday.

According to ship tracking data, it was heading to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal in the Russian port of Novorossiysk. The container ship Mehmet Kahveci A also passed through the strait to Novorossiysk.
