Giant natural gas pipe-laying vessel CASTRONE transits Istanbul Strait
The CASTRONE, heading to Romania to participate in natural gas pipeline laying operations, transited the Bosphorus. Maritime traffic was suspended during the passage.
One of the world's largest natural gas pipe-laying vessels, the CASTRONE, passed through the Bosphorus.
The Bahamas-flagged vessel set sail to participate in natural gas pipeline laying operations in Romania.
The 325-meter-long and 39-meter-wide CASTRONE entered the strait at 5:40 a.m. local time.
The vessel was escorted during the transit by the Nene Hatun, Turkey's first and largest emergency response, search-and-rescue, and firefighting ship, operated by the Directorate General of Coastal Safety.
Turkish authorities suspended maritime traffic in both directions in the Bosphorus during the vessel's passage.
After a closure lasting approximately two hours, the strait was reopened to maritime traffic.
