In Turkey there are 172 ports and piers.Ports are divided into three categories in terms of their owners/operators:I- Public sector portsII- Ports/piers owned and operated by municipalitiesIII- Specialised ports owned by industrial complexes, private ports and piers (private ports)

There are 21 public ports, 23 municipal ports and 128 specialised (private) ports in Turkey.Specialised ports are mostly owned and constructed to serve the special needs of the industrialplants, but third parties are often allowed to use these ports.

Independent of the ownership of the port, the supervision and the regulation of ports are under thecontrol of various public authorities. However, there is not a central body or an independentregulatory commission which is specialised only in ports.

Turkey has a coastline of 8333 km. Despite its long coastline, the maritime transport sector hasnot developed sufficiently. According to 2014 data, 87.4% of Turkey’s international trade – intonnes - is realised by maritime transport. On the other hand, the share of domestic transport bysea remains low at 3%. Transit cargo accounts for only 12% of the total cargo handled. Transitcontainers remain at 10% level.

Investments in ports by the government took place until the 1950s. Thereafter, road transportinvestments were favoured and therefore the equilibrium between transport modes becameunbalanced.

Due to the insufficient investments and inefficient operation of public ports, the government haspermitted in the 1980s the private sector to operate their own ports for their own cargoes. Soonthey were also given the permission to serve third parties on the condition that 15% of their grossrevenues from each operation is paid to the state as a rental fee.

Since large scale port investments were not realised in time, the increasing demand wascompensated by construction of many small scale ports and piers. Since the ports are dispersedand far from economies of scale, only a low amount of cargo tonnage is handled per port. Enoughfreight could not be attracted and Turkey could not become a transit country.

Turkish ports were developed as conventional type of ports, equipped to serve different types offreight. They were not specialised to serve only one type of cargo.

Public sector ports are categorised as:a) TDI Ports: The general purpose public ports which do not have any rail connection are

owned by the Turkish Maritime Organisation (TDI).b) TCDD Ports: The public ports which are connected to railway networks are owned by

Turkish State Railways (TCDD)

Main ports with big passenger and cargo handling capacity were used to be operated by the publicinstitutions TDI and TCDD. However, revenues obtained from container transport of these portscould not be spent on the further development and modernisation of these ports. End 1994 thediscussions regarding the efficiency of private versus public ports resulted in a decision towards theprivatisation of public ports. As from 1997, 13 ports of Turkish Maritime Organisation (TDI) and asfrom 2007, 5 out of 7 ports of TCDD were privatised through the transfer of operating rights.

Of the 21 public ports, only 6 are still operated by TDI (Turkish Maritime Organisation) and 2 byTCDD (Turkish State Railways).

It was not part of the privatisation programme.It is rumoured that this port will be closed downcompletely and the area will be allocated toresidential development.

Turkey seeks to increase its maritime trade and sees the need to invest in increasing the capacityof its ports. One of the policy priorities of Turkey is increasing its port capacities, transforming itsports into logistical centres where combined transport can be realised and ensuring efficientmanagement of ports.

Turkey has the ambition to become a logistical hub between Europe and the Balkans, Middle East,Russia, Caucasia, Black Sea and Mediterranean countries and tries to integrate its transportnetwork with Trans-European networks where ports are a part of.

Turkish ports located along the Mediterranean and the Aegean regions are considered to have thepotential to attract the cargo of the Asia-Europe main shipping lines navigating in theMediterranean. Ports in the Mediterranean region can be used to transfer/transit goods that comefrom the main shipping lines to the Middle East and Central Asia. Ports in the Marmara region areimportant for the transfer/transit of goods arriving from Trans-European and Pan-Europeantransport corridors to the countries in the east. Ports in the Black Sea are increasing in importancebecause Central Asian countries without any sea connection are expected to ship their goods toEurope through these ports.

Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Ankara – Turkey/ Muge Yazgan-Van Herk, 7 October 2015

Turkey plans to construct new large scale and hub ports which will help Turkey to become a transitcountry. So far, there are four mega projects in the pipeline:

1) Çandarlı Port at Aegean Sea: Planned to be constructed in three stages. Each stage with 4 million TEU of container handling capacity, this port will reach 12 million TEU when it iscompleted.

2) New Mersin Container Port at Eastern Mediterranean Region: Will be built on the east of theexisting Mersin International Port (MIP) in five stages. First stage will create 1.7-1.9 millionTEU handling capacity which will reach 11.4 million TEU at the end.

3) Filyos Port at Western Black Sea (Zonguldak): It will serve the industrial zone which will beestablished in its hinterland. It will handle 700 thousand TEU containers and 16 milliontonnes of general cargo.

4) İzmir Port: There will be extension investments, increasing the capacity of this port to 2.5 million TEU.

As a strategic target Turkey plans to invest in hub ports in Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Searegions, desires its ports to be recognised as regional main transit/transfer ports and eventuallybecome a logistic centre. By 2023, when all mega port project investments are finalised, capacityof Turkish ports are forecasted to increase to 32 million TEU.

Private sector companies are currently investing heavily in increasing the number and capacity ofcontainer ports in Turkey.

Currently, the total capacity of container terminals is around 11 million TEU. However, there aremany ongoing investments most of which are expected to be finalised by end-2015/2016, creatingan additional capacity of 10.5 million TEU. Most of these investments are planned in the Marmararegion (6.7 million TEU), followed by the Mediterranean Region (2.2 million TEU) and AegeanRegion (1.6 million TEU).

Port Akdeniz's location and its surrounding mineral wealth and mining operationshave enabled the port to position itself as a strategic gateway for exporters to diverseglobal markets for cement, clinker, aluminium, marble and chromium. Port Akdeniz -Antalya is well-placed to benefit from the continued increase in exports of these types ofgoods. In addition, Port Akdeniz stands to benefit from the continued increase incontainerisation at Turkish ports. As Turkey began to implement container cargo operationslater than many other developed countries, there is significant room for future growth.
