The İSTANBUL-9 ferry, part of the Şehir Hatları fleet, has been scheduled for planned maintenance and repairs at the Haliç Shipyard and will be temporarily out of service. To prevent any inconvenience to passengers, the current ferry schedule will continue uninterrupted using other vessels in the fleet.
Impact of Maintenance on Ferry Schedules
These planned shipyard maintenance procedures are essential for preserving high standards of safety and passenger comfort in maritime transport, ensuring the vessels provide long-lasting and reliable service. While the İSTANBUL-9 ferry is undergoing maintenance, Şehir Hatları is deploying reserve vessels to guarantee that transportation operations run smoothly.
However, minor delays may occur, particularly during peak morning and evening commuting hours. Passengers are advised to keep this in mind when planning their journeys.
Important Advice for Passengers
To avoid any disruptions during your ferry trip and stay informed, we recommend the following steps:
- Check the official Şehir Hatları website or mobile app before your journey.
- Pay attention to the digital information screens and real-time announcements at the piers.
- Arrive at the pier a little earlier than planned to account for potential minor delays during rush hours.
Once the maintenance work is complete, the İSTANBUL-9 ferry will return to serve the people of Istanbul in fully refreshed condition. Be sure to follow the operator's official channels for the latest schedule updates and real-time changes.
