The Aegean coast, one of the most unique blue cruise and tourism destinations in the world, is on the agenda in the fight against pollution as well as its beauty. While there are trash cans in some bays of the Aegean coast, which are visited by millions of tourists every year, plastic bottles, tin beverage cans, plastic bags and packaging wastes stand out in nature, since there are no trash cans in more isolated places. Although some associations and municipalities are working on this issue, it becomes clear that there is a need for a wider study on the cleaning of the entire region.

Cleaning is one of the most important agendas

Seafarers in Muğla are struggling with pollution with their own individual efforts in Göcek, one of the most beautiful places in the world with its paradise bays. Marines aim to create a social awareness with social responsibility projects by taking the war they have waged against pollution to the next level.

Şeref Sevi, President of All Yacht Managers, Brokers, Agencies and Investors Association (TYBA), which struggles to clean the bays in Göcek, said, “Tourism is the biggest source of income here. Therefore, the blue voyage business is being done. Boat work is done in and out of the country. Naturally, the area we use is our biggest capital and the cleaning of our coasts is among our most important agendas.”

The aim is to create social awareness

Pointing out that both the association and its members are devoted to this issue, Sevi said, “We take care to keep our city, where we live and our boat clean. We naturally feel responsible for this. However, in order to prevent this, there are some issues that we talked about that have not yet reached the project stage. We will share it when the time comes. However, our biggest goal is to create a social awareness on this issue,” he said.

Searching for solutions for nylon bags going to boats

Emphasizing that Muğla Municipality and Turmepa have some coordinated work on this issue, Sevi said, “Cleaning our bays is a part of our routine. In other words, we maintain the cleanliness of the bays, the environment and the boats in a natural process without the need for a campaign. One of the topics we talk about is finding a solution to the plastic bags that go to the boats during shopping. We will try to project how we can arrange the packaging for the boats in the coming days. This is the first thing,” he said.

‘We will do educational work’

Sevi continued as follows: “However, within the scope of awareness raising activities, planning should be made regarding continuous education. In this sense, we will carry out some studies in the coming period to train the personnel and captains and even to inform all passengers in general. We are talking about general studies. Because I believe that this is not a job limited to only associations or municipalities. From the fisherman to the yachtsman, who eats bread from this beach, from the sea, it is everyone’s business and everyone has a role.”

‘Awareness and organization to clean the bays is essential’

Ata Yachting General Manager Captain Ali Burçin Eke, who is both individually responsible for the cleanliness of the seas and coasts and strives to be active in this regard, pointed out that the pollution created by the daily tour boats of the Southwest coast of our country, which is unique in the world, has increased in parallel with the increase in the number of boats. .

Pointing out that there are efforts of local non-governmental organizations to prevent pollution, Eke said, “However, a solution has not been found on an institutional basis. It is necessary to create a consciousness and organize an organization that will clean the bays,” he said.

Working together with TYBA Association and Muğla Municipality for a solution, Eke tries to clean the bays that she goes to individually by boat.

The Association of Yacht Brokers of Turkey, I am sorry to inform you that on 6 July 2017, the Ministry of Maritime and Island Policies of the Hellenic Republic published and published the attached letter on the clarification and implementation of the Greek Law No. 4256/2014 to its relevant authorities. Regulates charter arrangements in Greece. These methods unfortunately place many Turkish and non-Turkish yacht owners who have already booked their holidays, many Turkish and non-Turkish yacht brokers, and many Turkish and non-Turkish yacht charter clients in a very difficult position and to avoid unnecessary suffering to all parties involved. should be reconsidered and evaluated.

The products we all love, market and offer – charter yachts – are clearly a mobile product, and in some parts of the world, due to geolocation and flight schedules, it can be best enjoyed by traveling across international borders. Each nation clearly has the responsibility, through its own ministries and regulations, to protect only business assets and taxpayers by rules and regulations, the way these regulations are implemented, and the timing of these regulations. Once published and implemented, it is of paramount importance to provide businesses and industries with adequate resources to plan appropriately and benefit the economy.

Greece, especially the Dodecanese region, which is closest to Turkish waters, is of high importance for Turkish-flagged and non-Turkish-flagged commercial vessels operating from Turkey within the scope of the Turkish Specification. Turkish and non-Turkish flagged commercial vessels have always taken charter guests to the Dodecanese as part of their weekly routes starting and ending in Turkey. Along with these very high volume pleasure yachts, visiting the Dodecanese Islands from Turkey has greatly benefited the Dodecanese economy. It’s also a fact that in the past, the same yachts, when they started chartering ships in the Dodecanese as well, then took the guests to Turkish waters and then returned to the Dodecanese to ruin their guests. Greek authorities.

Over the past two seasons, due to (often misconceptions) conditions in Turkey, more yacht and fleet operators have had to change ports of entry and departure at Twelve airports for fear of passengers entering and leaving Turkish airports. And of course they made this decision independently considering their longstanding practice of being able to independently start in the Dodecanese, enter Turkey, and then seamlessly return to Greece for a past departure. Recent Greek news articles stated that such business transactions hurt the Greek economy, and the attached letter from the Greek Ministry formally points to this view. Greek captains love Greek waters and Turkish captains love Turkish waters and it is natural to be like this. At the same time, it is much more convenient for all of us to move away from our own countries, where we can manage logistics more easily. The increase in the passage of commercial yachts operating from outside Turkey and ports of entry and exit to the Dodecanese Islands in the past 2 years is not due to those who want to harm the Dodecanese economy, but due to the force majeure conditions in Turkey. Contrary to the view that this hurts the Greek economy, we think it just adds more to the Greek economy. Twelve airlines and planes have more passengers, transfer companies make more transfers, maritime businesses do more business, marinas buy higher volumes of yachts, supermarkets sell more products before they start chartering, and the list goes on.

Just like in other industries, there are likely to be individuals and entities who break the law and operate illegally, and action must be taken to protect those who do their jobs right. But if an individual has broken the law, it should be the individual punished, not a collective group dependent on a particular industry. Let’s face the facts. We get very large and visible yachts and we see very visible people in front of ports, in front of authorities. The vast majority of yachts operating in Turkey have no intention of harming anyone or hiding what they are doing and doing everything through official channels. If the Dodecanese Islands have benefited greatly from such planned yacht charter services in the past, and as a result, more tolerant practices have been implemented, then continuing the practice makes sense and benefits everyone. At a minimum, if a change is required in the implementation of regulations, businesses should be given sufficient time to adapt to the changes, especially in current conditions.

In the yacht industry, we offer a premium product where customers expect the best service. This is made more challenging by an overprotective approach regulated and enforced by overprotective checks that can take place face-to-face with officials and customers aboard a cruise ship around the world. Rather than building walls between our nations and fields of work, we would benefit much more if our ministries and other relevant institutions would consult with industry leaders and then sit together to talk about any proposed draft measures. This consultative approach to problem solving will effectively benefit all parties in the long run and open open doors for friendly conversation for the future.

Kind regards,

 TYBA
