“…Generating points of ships are considered to be Gaussian distribution on a gate line orthogonal to the designed standard route, and ships are designed to navigate along the standard route as it is indicated in previous empirical work ( Yurtoren and Inoue, 2004).…”

The Istanbul Strait is one of the most congested waterways in the world and is difficult to navigate due to its ‘S-shaped’ geographic structure (Akten, 2004). Much of the local marine traffic affects navigation safety. Results of Yurtoren and Inoue (2004)'s study, which investigated navigational risks in the Istanbul Strait in terms of manoeuvring difficulties and accident statistics, indicates the necessity of effective and applicable local traffic management in the southern entrance of the Strait. In this study, Marine Traffic Fast Time Simulation (MTFTS) studies are used and an attempt is made to improve navigation safety by proposing Local Traffic Separation Schemes (LTSS).

“…Mavrakis and Kontinakis (2008) also define congestion as an increase in average waiting time in the queue at the entrance to the strait together with an increase in the number of vessels in the queue. Yurtoren and Aydogdu (2009) use the density of the İstanbul Strait as a measure of congestion. They further state that the congestion has been rising since the number, size and tonnage of the vessels and the amount of dangerous cargo carried have increased so that vessel type diversification is growing in the İstanbul Strait.…”

The Turkish Straits is one of the busiest waterways in the World. Around 4% of the world's crude oil trade passes through the Turkish Straits. We model the CIF Mediterranean price of Urals crude, one of the world's most critical medium gravity crude brands that passes through the Turkish Straits. The empirical evidence provided here suggests that congestion (measured in terms of the waiting time for entering the Turkish Straits) increases the CIF Mediterranean price of Urals crude up to 5.05% and 3.09% for the İstanbul and Çanakkale straits, respectively. However, similar supporting evidence could be found for neither an important benchmark oil (Brent) nor Iranian Light, which has similar characteristics and can be considered a close substitute for Urals crude in the Mediterranean refinery market. This shows that the Turkish Straits have an important impact on the price of this important medium crude oil in world oil markets.
