MERT SHIPPING · SINCE 1947
Bosphorus and Dardanelles transit agency
Non-stop transit and a passage connected with a Turkish port call have different cost structures. Mert Shipping helps prepare a passage budget for the selected strait, voyage status and pilotage requirements.
How we can help
- Selection of the Bosphorus, Dardanelles or both straits.
- Pilotage and agency, with light, rescue and sanitary dues assessed by passage status.
- Additional particulars and unpriced-item notices for dangerous cargo and escort requirements.
What to include in your enquiry
GT/NT, LOA, draft, air draft, cargo condition, direction and passage status; prior payment evidence when claiming a return-passage exemption.
Price, service scope and appointment are finalized by mutual confirmation.
Before you start
Are all charges waived for a return within six months?
No. Applicable exemption conditions and evidence of prior payment must be checked. Services such as pilotage and agency are assessed separately.
