The increasing number of vessels passing through the Bosphorus strait makes is one of the world’s busiest maritime passages. It is estimated that the strait makes way for around 48.000 ships annually, which is reportedly three and four times denser than the traffic of the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal respectively.

Istanbul's actual port is surprisingly small & quiet. Although many ships pass through the bosphorus.

Who said that the Bosphorus divides continents? It is just a strait. It is even the narrowest strait in the world.

[timothywilson]

It is not fair to say that this straight is narrow because the longest suspension bridge looks like it could collapse in the middle because it is too long. I think that people should create an island in the middle to support that bridge. Still I think that improvement needs to be made to this land route between Europe and Asia.
