Except with the prior approval of the Director
of Marine, no local vessel carrying dangerous
goods will be allowed to move within port from
2200 on December 31 to 0200 on January 1.

But what happens on 0200, January 1 when
everbody resumes activities?

Turkey closes waterway for Y2K All vessels longer than 660 feet and tankers
that displace more than 3,000 tons and carry
crude oil, liquefied natural gas or other
hazardous materials will be barred from the
narrow Bosporus and Dardanelles, the
undersecretariat for maritime affairs said
Tuesday.

The ban will apply even if the vessels have
documents certifying that their systems are
Y2K compliant, the agency added. Smaller
vessels that wish to navigate the straits'
tricky currents will have to show documents
proving their systems are Y2K compliant.
