During the meeting, where all department managers provided detailed insights, Ozgur Kalelioglu, Port and Terminal Services Group President, remarked, “As a Group, we persist in steering the sector through our pioneering investments. I am confident that our successful performance in 2023 will only grow in 2024 with our new investments.” Elaborating, Ozgur Kalelioglu continued, “At Marport, where we accommodate the world’s largest container vessels, we will uphold our pioneering role in the sector by achieving maximum operational efficiency with the installation of four new STS cranes at the terminal in the second and third quarters of the year. At Autoport, Türkiye’s first automotive terminal, we have increased our capacity through investments in the stock area outside the port. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of service quality with our new projects, which aim to expand the vehicle stock area capacity at the port and enhance the dock’s ship acceptance capacity. In 2024, we anticipate that Railport, our newly designed intermodal logistics terminal in the east-west trade corridor, will be the crowning achievement for our group. This ongoing investment will deliver significant added value to both the Turkish economy and our organization. I extend my gratitude to all my colleagues who have contributed to our ongoing success and sustainability.”
