Istanbul becomes island: shipping, Bosphorus, history and future – Video Doku
In Capital Investment Istanbul I have already reported a little about Istanbul. The city has the largest airport in the world. It is the largest city on two continents (Europe and Asia). Half of the economic output in Turkey is located here. The city itself is stronger than the whole of South Africa. Mainly due to the Shanghai / Rotterdam route (shipping), which passes through the Bosphorus since the opening of the Suez Canal – more after the video.
Istanbul: History and Future
This video documentary gives an interesting insight into the history and future of the city.
The canal itself is to be 45 kilometers long. By comparison, the Suez Canal is 200 kilometers long. Technically, therefore, absolutely feasible. 2021 the plan was forged. The route through the Bosporus is always full. 41,000 ships a year, 14 hours waiting time for passage and no alternative if, for example, a ship would run aground.
Example: Suez Canal without alternative
Barely a year ago, those scenes in the Suez Canal.
Example: Explosion in the port of Beirut
The canal would not be built directly next to the Bosporus. This is also in order to outsource security risks from ports. Take Beirut, for example.
Docu: Why is Turkey changing Istanbul?
Now the video documentary on the question: Why Turkey changes Istanbul into an island?
Route: Suez Canal > Bosphorus
Construction began on April 25, 1859, and since then the Suez Canal has been the route for ships traveling between Asia and Europe.
