Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) has advised that the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey will be closed in both directions on 10 July between 06:00-14:00 approximately due to ongoing construction works on the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge (initially named the Third Bosphorus Bridge).

ISS understands the exact re-opening time of the Bosphorus Strait on 10 July will depend on the completion of the work and could be extended.

The Bosphorus Strait is a key shipping channel in the region for commodities. ISS will monitor the closure and keep its clients updated.
