SALVAGE DUES:
US Dollar 0,008063 per NT (Up and Down passages)

If a vessel proceeds from a Turkish port in the Mediterranean or Marmara to a foreign Black Sea port,the upward dues for passing through the Straits are payable on the “Operating Vessels” basis.The transit passage only commences when the ship returns from the Black Sea foreign port,always provided that she again proceeds to a foreign (non Turkish) port in the Mediterranean,without operating in Turkish Territorial Waters.In such an event,it is up to the Agents to submit a letter to the Authorities stating that the ship is only performing a one way transit passage.In that case only 50% of the transit dues are collected.

For vessels which complete the full Transit Passage (up and down or vice versa) within a period exceeding six months,the full Transit Passage Dues are payable twice.However,if the Agent is aware on either passage (up or down as the case may be ) that the six monthy period will be exceeded,a similar letter as above will serve to pay only 50% of the dues for each passage and thus avoid duplication.

P.S. 1-CONDITIONS WHICH VIOLATE STATUS
Any vessel paying transit sanitary dues by declaring that it will pass the Dardanelles straits,Marmara sea and the Bosphorus,in transit;but then proceeds to a port at the straits or Marmara sea,or anchor off Istanbul to supply emergency requirements and remains there more than 48 hours or offloads/loads cargo or embark or disembark crew or passangers,instead of proceeding to a foreign,then it violates the transit status.
