Tuzla is the number 1 shipbuilding region in Turkey representing the largest production capacity, along with sub-industries, suppliers and contractors. It is located in the south side of Istanbul right on the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Nowadays Turkey counts 70 active shipyards, 27 of which are based in Tuzla and another 25 yards in nearby regions of Izmit and Yalova. These yards tend to be multi-purpose, often offering conversion, repair and maintenance as well as new building works.

Add the fact that Sabia Gocen Airport is just a 15 minute drive and the vibrant Istanbul city centre can be reached easily by car, metro or ferry boat and you will see why Tuzla Istanbul has all the ingredients to host Europort Turkey.

Over 200 participating brands will be present at Europort Turkey to meet with industry representatives that play leading roles in policy, investment and operational decision-making. Make sure you are part of this leading event. Register now for a free visit and avoid waiting times at the entrance.
