The following has been posted to "Latest News" on the Cruising Wiki's Turkey page:
QUOTE From 1st January '09, a detailed inventory form is required for entry and exit to and from Turkey. The form must detail all main items aboard such as engines, generators, sails, electronics such as SSB, VHF, GPS, and all items such as bicycles, binoculars, stereos, computers, television sets, etc. This form will be attached to the yacht's cruising permit and the items listed on entry must match those on the list on exit from Turkey. Any changes to this inventory list while in Turkey must be covered with purchase invoices for additions to the list or sales receipts identifying the new owner of the goods if removed from the list. This inventory list is stamped and copied by Customs at a cost of 50 Turkish lira. This "rule" was in force some years ago and was dropped. Can anyone currently in Turkey confirm that this is again being enforced? |

It is in Marmaris.
Another new rule, vessels over 10t need to use an agent. This is all new so things are still getting sorted. So what is actually applied to yachts should be known over the next month or so. |

We've kept our yacht in Kusadasi for the past five years and we weren't informed of any change when we returned to the boat in May this year. Equally of any requirement to use an agent (our yacht is an Oyster 435 - displacement 15 tonnes). However, we are a British registered yacht, so I don't know if that makes any difference.

If that rule was in force in 2005/6 then we never experienced it's application when we were there same years.
I do know the regulations on cruising permits etc have changed recently but frankly it was always hard to know where or when past regulations were ever going to be applied - so can only assume the same is still true today. I've a Turkish contact who runs a new marina in Turkey so will ask him to give us a summary update and update when I get a response. Cheers JOHN |

Since leaving Turkey in mid-July I have been hearing rumours of changes in the formalities in obtaining a Transit Log. The jist was initially that any yachts over 10 tonnes would be required to employ an agent to submit the application. Now it seems that all yachts will have to employ an agent and some are charging as much as €250. Does anyone know what the exact situation is?
