Türkiye will increase tariffs for ships passing through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits from July 1. This was announced by the country's Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu in an interview with the NTV channel, Gazeta.ru reports.
Under the new tariffs, the value of the gold franc used to calculate fees for ships passing through the straits will be increased by 15% to 5,83 USD.
