U.S. tells Türkiye no need for additional checks on oil tankers

U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told Turkish Deputy
Foreign Minister Sedat Onal in a call on Wednesday that the price
cap on Russian oil does not necessitate additional checks on ships
passing through Turkish territorial waters, the U.S. Treasury
Department said, Trend reports citing Reuters.

A Turkish measure in force since the start of the month has
caused a logjam by requiring vessels to provide proof they have
insurance covering the duration of their transit through the
Bosphorus strait or when calling at Turkish ports.
