Turkish Straits transit fees set for July revision
Fees charged to vessels transiting the Turkish Straits without a port call will be updated as of July 1, daily Milliyet has reported.
From 1983 until 2022, a fixed fee of $0.80 had been applied to such transits.
Following a revision on October 7, 2022—the first in 39 years—the fee was increased nearly fivefold to $4.08. This amount was subsequently raised to $4.42 on July 1, 2023, to $5.07 on July 1, 2024, and to $5.83 on July 1, 2025.
As of July 1, 2026, the fee will be further increased to $6.7, remaining in effect until June 30, 2027.
