Turkish officials on Tuesday closed the Istanbul Strait to ships due to heavy fog.
Two-way ship traffic was suspended through the strait as of 10.27 a.m. local time (0727GMT).
The fog grew more dense in the morning, cutting down visibility for sea travel.
The strait connects international ship traffic from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and further on, to the Mediterranean Sea.
