Introduction

At Savalan Shipping, we serve as a key player in Turkey’s busy maritime scene. Our strong location between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East helps us support ships with the supplies they need to sail safely and on time. We use busy ports and efficient logistics to provide food, fuel, spare parts, and safety gear for every vessel. In this guide, we explain our ship supply services in Turkey, including the main ports, supply types, legal rules, industry challenges, and future trends.

Importance of Ship Supply Services

At Savalan Shipping, we keep ships well-supplied so they run smoothly. We work directly with cargo ships, tankers, cruise liners, and navy vessels to make sure the crew has everything they need. Our hands-on service helps avoid delays, extra costs, and rule breaches.

Turkey’s Key Location in Shipping

Turkey sits at the heart of major trade routes. The Bosporus Strait plays a vital role for ships passing between seas. Our location offers easy access to the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Aegean. This makes Turkey, and Savalan Shipping, a top choice for refueling and supply services.

Major Ports in Turkey for Ship Supply

We use several main ports in Turkey to deliver our services:

• Port of Istanbul: A busy port for cruise ships and cargo vessels.
• Port of Izmir: A major hub for both local and international ships.
• Port of Mersin: One of the largest container ports in the Mediterranean.
• Port of Iskenderun: A key port for cargo and bulk carriers.
• Port of Gemlik: An important port for automotive and industrial shipping.

Each port gives us a wide range of supply options to keep your ship ready for the next voyage.
