The fog, which increased its impact in the strait at midnight and continued until morning, caused a decrease in the level of horizontal visibility.
The Department of Ship Traffic Services in the Strait announced that the captains of ships coming from the north and south were warned by radio and that the strait was closed to transit ships in both directions.
