Le Bosphore et les Dardanelles relient la mer Noire à la Méditerranée ; 3,7 millions de barils par jour ont franchi les Dardanelles au premier semestre 2025. Le Bosphore est long de 17 nm et se rétrécit à moins d'un demi-mille. Les tankers de 200 m ou plus ne le franchissent que de jour, pilotes et remorqueurs d'escorte sont vivement recommandés, et les forts courants ferment le détroit aux tankers.
