Turkey grants work permit to French vessel Abeille Marengo in the Eastern Mediterranean

Turkey has granted a work permit to the French-flagged vessel named Abeille Marengo, which will conduct research as part of a submarine power cable project in the Eastern Mediterranean.

According to the published NAVTEX notice numbered 1127/26, the vessel Abeille Marengo will be able to continue its operations at the designated coordinates until March 19, 2027. The notice, announced on November 10, emphasized that the vessel's activities are being carried out in coordination with Turkish authorities and that the necessary consent has been obtained.

This development took place in connection with the submarine power interconnection project planned between Greece and Cyprus. The work permit was granted during a period when discussions regarding maritime jurisdiction areas in the Eastern Mediterranean are ongoing.
