Abstract

Today's technology and requirements directly affect human needs. According to the International Maritime Organization - IMO, more than 90% of all needs in the world are transported by Maritime Transportation, and ships have a very important role in this regard. It is known that most of the maritime and producing countries are interested in energy transportation and that these kinds of transportation modes are very important for the development of countres. In this context, the navigation in important passages and canals around the world affects both human life and the marine environment. The Straits of Istanbul and Canakkale, which are major parts of the Turkish Straits Sea Area-TSSA, are undoubtedly important natural waterways. If precautions are not taken, especially after an accident that may occur in the Canakkale Strait, pollution will reach the Aegean Sea due to currents. The study describes insights into pollution impacts and prevention activities.
