METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY VERY SENSITIVE IN MAINTENANCE

Of course, care is important to increase the quality of human life. As is known, there was an important ferry accident in 2002. One of the main reasons of the accident was the lack of maintenance on the ferries and the insufficient maintenance that should be done periodically, causing these accidents to happen. Now our Metropolitan Municipality is very sensitive about this issue. In the slightest malfunction in the port, the officers intervene immediately and renovation and repair work are carried out. Taking care of ships every 5 years is the biggest indicator of this. We thank all the friends who contributed. We are pleased that our President also examines the works on site and is personally involved in the works ”.

It is important that the technical maintenance and maintenance of our ferries are carried out under the control and supervision of the Istanbul Ports Directorate. 5 of our citizens died in the ferry accident that took place in 2002, and we could not reach the bodies of both of our citizens. During the period of our Battalgazi Municipality, we were in a very strict follow-up at the point of navigating the vehicles in the pier and at the point of monitoring their technical maintenance. During this period, our friends are making great efforts to carry out the maintenance, repair and control of the ferries and other special ones that belong to us. The maintenance we do is usually done in the form of 13-year maintenance, annual maintenance, monthly and daily maintenance, and they are carried out by the technical staff of our related department, ”he said.
