Ownership and operation

Ports and berthing facilities in Turkey are owned and operated by three different groups, state owned companies, municipalities and private companies.
Major ports are owned and operated by the Turkish State Railways or Turkish Maritime Organization, which are so-called State Economic Enterprises. However, some of these ports are already privatized and some others, which all belong to the TCDD, are within the ongoing privatization process.
Municipality owned ports are comparatively smaller. Limited to a small volume of coastal traffic, they serve the local needs of provincial towns.
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.
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, Izmir Port, Nemport, Samsunport, TTK Zonguldak Port, Derince Port, Evyap Port, Haydarpasa Port, Port of Bandirma, Tekirdag Port, Yilport Yarimca. Also Isdemir, Tupras, Gubretas and Petrol Ofisi have their own ports which are connected to railway network.
