The Bosphorus is a geopolitically important water channel for Turkey and the world's maritime transportation. It is crucial for Turkey and all countries using the Turkish Straits to reduce pressure on the Bosphorus, minimize problems that might arise after a potential marine accident, and ensure the safety of navigation, life and the environment of the Bosphorus. The Canal Istanbul project is planned to be realized as an alternative sea route to the Bosphorus to reduce the ship traffic of the Bosphorus and reduce the risk of possible maritime accidents. It is of the utmost importance to take the necessary measures for environmental protection and navigation safety within scope of the Project to reduce the risk of possible marine accidents in the new channel that will be developed. This study has made risk assessments for preventing pollution that may arise from possible marine accidents for Canal by considering the factors, accident types, and spill amounts of marine accidents involving ships on international ships in the projected Canal Istanbul. In the studies, risk assessment was made by Monte Carlo Simulation, and the amount of spill that may occur in a marine accident was determined according to the type of accident. In addition, risk assessments were made for Canal Istanbul according to each type of accident using the ASSHTO method. As a result of the evaluations, the risky areas of the canal were determined, and it was seen that the amount of oil spillage might be high in fire and sinking accident types.
