Heisenberg Shipping Successfully Assisted 174 Vessel Transits Through the Turkish Straits in 2025

Heisenberg Shipping, Turkey's national ship agency, has successfully assisted 174 dry bulk vessels, tankers, and supporting ships during their Bosphorus and Dardanelles Strait transits in 2025, reinforcing its position as a trusted transit agency partner in one of the world's most complex and congested waterways.

Throughout 2025, Heisenberg Shipping provided full Turkish Straits Transit Agency services for northbound and southbound passages, supporting vessels up to 300 meters LOA with precise coordination, regulatory compliance, and real-time operational oversight. Despite increasing traffic density and strict Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) controls, all assisted transits were completed safely and efficiently.

"Our 2025 performance reflects the strength of our local expertise, operational discipline, and close coordination with Turkish authorities," said Heisenberg Shipping's Operations Team. "Each transit through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles requires meticulous planning, accurate documentation, and constant monitoring. Delivering 174 successful passages in one year is a clear indicator of our operational reliability."

Operational Excellence in the World's Most Strategic Waterway

The Turkish Straits remain the sole maritime gateway between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, carrying a high concentration of dry bulk carriers, tankers, and vessels transporting sensitive cargoes. Heisenberg Shipping's Istanbul-based transit team managed every stage of the passage process, including:

- VTS coordination and scheduling
- Pilotage and convoy arrangements
- Pre-arrival documentation and compliance
- Anchorage and waiting-area management
- Husbandry, crew, supply, and CTM services during transit

By maintaining continuous communication with vessel masters, owners, charterers, and authorities, Heisenberg Shipping minimized waiting times and ensured smooth passage even during peak congestion periods.

A Trusted Transit Agency Partner

With a strong operational focus on dry bulk vessels and tankers, Heisenberg Shipping continues to support shipowners and operators seeking dependable transit agency services in Türkiye. The company's proven 2025 transit record demonstrates its capability to manage complex strait passages under strict regulatory frameworks and demanding traffic conditions.

As global trade through the Black Sea continues to evolve, Heisenberg Shipping remains committed to delivering safe, efficient, and transparent Turkish Straits transit operations, backed by local knowledge and hands-on agency expertise.
