Turkey is preparing to launch a comprehensive environmental environment project to protect the Bosphorus in Aegean Sea from harmful emissions from ships passing through the strait. the projectwhich is set to be kicked off This month in cooperation with Istanbul University and the South Korean National Research Foundation (NRF), are set to last for Two years.
the projectlabeled “Analysis of an inventory of air emissions from ships passing through the Bosphorus,” is also Supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (tubitac).
within range of the first Plan, some sensors will be set up in different points in Bosporus for detection and calculation of emissions.
C. Gazioglu, A project coordinator f professor at Istanbul University Institute of The Department of Marine Sciences and its management emphasized that “ project It will strengthen the dominance of Turkey over straits, “including the Bosporus Strait, which” welcomes the Mediterranean of 40,000 vessels each year. “
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), Gazioglu noted out Turkey needs to show its dominance over Straits in terms of the environmentand he possible to achieve it through research projects. “
give details about projectthe professor He said that, “Sensors that will be placed in a specific place points will help Calculate emissions from ships.
“we have already developed Calculation method, but this method cannot be applied to main engine of The ship passing through the strait even counts emissions beyond it already passed from there.
the professor He continued, “They aim for action more derivative resultsand measurements start out of three points in Bosphorus first; However, they eventually plan to increase the number of these spots.”
the system the professor Wire of It originates from South Korea. it’s working in Places with Do not turn up, and it was developed with ships in Natural waterways.
According to Gazioglu, hosting over 15 million people in Istanbul can be an obstacle to differentiating emission sources. he thinks that city’s car Traffic intensity can undermine properly level checking of Emissions made by Bosporus ships only.
the professor also He noted that the maritime industry must bear the consequences of the global The climate crisis confirmed that ancient production techniques in It will be the industry abandoned over the time. This means, he said, that ships are more likely to do so use different types of fuel.
Gazioglu added A shift is expected on Electric motors in Short-distance transportation, saying it is necessary switch for different types of fuel ship use over the time.
“It’s not easy for An electric ship is sailing for months. It’s necessary to switch for different types of fuel; Accordingly ship machinery should be produced. W said added That: “So, that would be the goal set in shipping industry, and change of ships will be required over the time.”
Gazioglu emphasized, “N work that has been done so far is designed to get these types of ships that can pass Through the Bosphorus… Then we’ll be able to clear our strait of Old ships that make up a riskand we will have a parameter for Next years “.
