This page is the data sheet of the five gateways: terminals and operators, quay and depth, rail, customs office, free-zone neighbourhood and which cargo leaves from where, every figure with its source and access date.
Coast
Three basins, five gateways
Ambarlı and Asyaport on the Marmara, İzmir on the Aegean, Mersin and İskenderun on the Mediterranean. We choose the port of loading together, by route, service and deadline; the sheets below are the data behind that choice.

Frequently asked
Who chooses the port of loading?
We do, together. The factory's location, the destination port, the service schedule, empty-container availability and the deadline are read together; the quote names the port and the reason. If it changes later, we write down why.
Are the terminals on this page the ones you work with?
Terminal names and figures are public operator, TÜRKLİM and Ministry data; they are not a claim of a contract with any terminal. Which terminal loads the cargo follows the service's call.
How do you decide between Ambarlı and Asyaport?
Both are on the Marmara; we do not rank them. Vessel schedule, a call without transshipment, empty containers and the factory's location decide. For a factory in Thrace Asyaport, for the Asian side Ambarlı, usually means shorter pre-carriage; that is a starting point, not a rule.
Can cargo reach the port by rail?
Mersin, İskenderun (LimakPort) and İzmir Alsancak are rail-connected; Ambarlı and Asyaport have no terminal siding. The rail set-up, wagon supply and terminal slot go into the quote; detail on the rail page.
What if I want a port where you have no team?
We do it, and the quote says "no team of our own at this port". We still run the shipment, with a contracted agent in the field; your contact does not change.

Terminal names and figures are taken from public operator, TÜRKLİM and Ministry records and carry no claim of a contract with any terminal; where two sources give different values, both are shown. There is no volume share, ranking or comparative claim. Port tariffs, free time and cut-offs are subject to the operator's current tariff.
