Another giant project in 2020; In other words, we will implement Kanal Istanbul. With this project, we will not only reduce the ship traffic load of the Bosphorus. We will minimize the risks that may occur due to ships carrying dangerous goods in the Bosphorus. We will also have an alternative for ships and tankers who do not want to pass the Bosphorus without waiting. Ships carrying international cargo will be able to use Kanal Istanbul for a fee. They will also get rid of the financial burdens that may occur due to waiting for a week. Especially due to the shift of world trade to the east, the number of ships using the straits will increase significantly in the near future. In fact, the number of ships to use the Bosphorus in 20 years is expected to reach 70 thousand. In short, Kanal Istanbul is not only the project of today but also of tomorrow. Kanal Istanbul is a project that will save the Bosphorus from accidents. 2020 will be the year of Kanal Istanbul.
