What is the purpose of the Istanbul Water Canal?

 

 Reducing the large sea movement through the Bosphorus Strait and reducing the risks and dangers associated in particular with sea tankers
annually. About 55 thousand ships and steamers pass through the Istanbul Strait. International pressure increases with the increase in the tonnage of maritime traffic through the Turkish straits, which brings risks to the security of maritime navigation during transit.
