Türkiye marked Cabotage Day on Monday, commemorating the country’s maritime independence and the enforcement of the Cabotage Law enacted on July 1, 1926. The celebrations were held across coastal cities, with Istanbul hosting one of the most vibrant and symbolic events of the day.

In Istanbul, the Bosphorus served as a scenic backdrop for various activities organized by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, the Turkish Navy, and local maritime institutions. The day began with a ceremonial wreath-laying at sea in honor of fallen seafarers, followed by maritime parades, naval demonstrations, and water sports performances.
