Port operations during end of Ramadan holiday

Due to the four-day holiday marking the end of Ramadan from 3 to 7 June, all official institutions and banks in Turkey will be closed from during this period.

Some ports may suspend their operations over the holiday period or increase charges by 50% for official services such as pilotage, towage, mooring, customs, etc. A 50% surcharge will also apply to pilotage services for Turkish Straits transits between these dates.

You are therefore urged to check before arranging to call at any Turkish port during this period, and to make all arrangements for crew, spares, provision, etc in advance to ensure timely clearance and delivery.

GAC Turkey will be on duty during the holiday.
