Istanbul: Kanal Istanbul will be built in the west of Istanbul, between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara.
The Kanal Istanbul Project is not just a transportation project. It is also an integrated project involving many sectors such as public works, agriculture, education, employment, urbanism, family, housing, culture, tourism and the environment.
The project will minimize the ship traffic threatening life and cultural assets in the Bosphorus, and the environmental pollution created by the ships anchored in the Marmara will be eliminated.
As a result of urban transformation to be made with Kanal Istanbul, new living spaces will be created.
Modern living spaces, congresses, festivals and exhibition centers, hotels, sports facilities will be built around the canal. 2 new city will be established on east and west side of Istanbul.
There will be no problems with the road and rail transportation.
Average width is 400 m, channel length will be 43 km. Preparatory work continues.
Our country, as an Eastern Mediterranean country with its natural and archaeological richness and yacht tourism is a newly discovered attraction point.
The total number of yachts in the Mediterranean is now around 1 million.
However, there are significant increases every year.
France, Spain and Italy The Mediterranean dish is the 85 of the marina capacity. However, the fact that new investment locations are limited in these countries, the pollution of the Western Mediterranean and the increase in operating fees make the Eastern Mediterranean countries attractive. Recent developments in the yachting activity concerning the Mediterranean basin compel our country to move.
Before the 2002, there were no marinas that were built with the Build-Operate-Transfer Model without the use of public resources and they were introduced to the service of the tourism sector. We put the ports into the service of tourism sector.
With this and similar projects, we have upgraded the capacity of yacht berthing at 8.500 to 18.261. In addition, the construction of Antalya Gazipaşa, Muğla Datça and Dalaman, Tekirdağ and Istanbul Haliç Yat Ports continue.
