Important Information and Actions for Passengers
In the event of ferry cancellations, there are several points passengers should consider to avoid inconvenience. First and foremost, checking the latest service information for your planned travel day and time on the operators' official websites or mobile applications is the most accurate step.
Passengers who have purchased tickets for canceled services typically have ticket exchange or refund rights governed by the operators' policies. For detailed information on this matter, it is recommended to contact İDO or BUDO customer services directly. Considering alternative transportation options can also help prevent loss of time.
Impact of Adverse Weather Conditions on Sea Transportation
In sea transportation, adverse weather conditions, especially situations like storms, dense fog, or strong winds, prevent services from being operated safely. Since passenger and crew safety is always the top priority, operators may decide to cancel services in such circumstances. These decisions are made considering meteorological data and warnings from maritime authorities.
