This is a list of ports in Turkey grouped by sea and sorted after port name,[1] wherein piers and special purpose terminals (oil, natural gas, LNG terminals)[2] are separated. Marinas in Turkey are not listed here. As of 2024, there are 54 ports in Turkey.[3]
Ownership and operation
editPorts and berthing facilities in Turkey are owned and operated by three different groups, state owned companies, municipalities and private companies.[2][dead link]
Major ports are owned and operated by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) or Turkish Maritime Organization (TDİ), which are so-called State Economic Enterprises (Turkish: Kamu İktisadi Teşebbüsü or KİT).[2][dead link] However, some of these ports are already privatized and some others, which all belong to the TCDD, are within the ongoing privatization process.[4]
Municipality owned ports are comparatively smaller. Limited to a small volume of coastal traffic, they serve the local needs of provincial towns.[2][dead link]
Privately owned ports are mostly constructed and used in special purpose to the particular needs of the industrial plants. However, third parties are also allowed to use these ports.[2][dead link]
Not a big portion of these ports have railway connections. Mainly the ones once or still owned by TCDD are connected to national railway network. Ports with railway connection are Limak Port Iskenderun, Mersin Port (Mediterranean Sea), Izmir Port, Nemport (Aegean Sea), Samsunport, TTK Zonguldak Port (Black Sea), Derince Port, Evyap Port, Haydarpasa Port, Port of Bandirma, Tekirdag Port, Yilport Yarimca (Marmara Sea). Also Isdemir, Tupras, Gubretas and Petrol Ofisi have their own ports which are connected to railway network.[5]
