Şehir HatlarıDense fog, effective in Istanbul since the early morning hours, has caused significant disruptions to sea transportation. To ensure the safety of maritime traffic due to reduced visibility, Şehir Hatları made an important announcement, stating that some of its services have been temporarily suspended. In this context, Sirkeci - Harem car ferry services, along with 15 different passenger ferry services across the Bosphorus, have been cancelled. It is crucial for passengers to check current announcements before making their travel plans.
Cancellations on the Sirkeci - Harem Line
The Sirkeci - Harem car ferry line, one of the busiest routes connecting Istanbul's Anatolian and European sides, is critically important, especially for vehicle crossings. The suspension of services on this line due to dense fog necessitates a search for alternative routes, particularly for drivers and passengers crossing between the two sides in the morning hours. Normally, these services from Sirkeci Pier to Harem Pier offer a significant sea route alternative that eases Istanbul traffic.
