In a move to safeguard underwater infrastructure, Turkiye's Directorate General of Maritime Affairs has issued a directive to maritime organizations, emphasising the importance of anchoring within designated zones in Istanbul's Southern Anchorage.
The directive, issued on May 7, 2025, comes in response to a trend of vessels anchoring outside designated areas, posing risks to subsea pipelines and communication cables. The letter instructs agents to inform ship Masters about the critical need to adhere to designated anchorage zones to prevent delays and potential claims.
Non-compliance could lead to stringent measures, including the assignment of escort tugs and underwater inspections at the vessel's expense. Administrative sanctions may also be imposed on vessels that anchor outside the prescribed zones.
