Kuzey Pandi have reported new Turkish Straits Maritime Traffic Regulations which, amongst other regulations, provide new powers for Harbour Masters to intervene directly in salvage operations; vessels are not permitted to get closer than 100 metres to bridge piers/legs in the Straits; overtaking is subject to VTS directions and a reguirement for tug and pilot assistance for LPG Tankers of over 150 metres in length (previously this requirement was for LPG Tankers of 200 metres plus).
