Ocean freight to Turkey
Turkey has been on our ocean freight map as a forwarder since 1992. Full container load (FCL) serves commercial and industrial cargo, while less than container load (LCL) suits smaller shipments. Cargo is collected anywhere in the United States and trucked to our Miami warehouse, and sailings from Spain, the rest of Europe, China and South America are coordinated from origin. Containers discharge at Ambarlı, Mersin or İzmir, then continue by road, including TIR corridors, across Anatolia.
FCL (full container load). A full box for your cargo alone: maximum security and efficiency for Turkey-bound shipments.
LCL (consolidated cargo). The cost-effective option for smaller loads, with container space shared among shippers.
Road freight. Container drayage, LTL and FTL integrated with ocean service, door to door, with TIR corridors across Turkey.
All services carry customs support, real-time tracking and expert logistics management. We also move hazardous cargo with UN numbers, refrigerated cargo and oversized projects.
