Transit & Capacity Details:

Industry Alignment: Port Mersin handles 60% of Turkiye’s Mediterranean sea freight and 35% of its Middle East transit cargo, serving sectors like industrial manufacturing (Turkiye’s textile, automotive), agriculture (southern Turkiye’s cotton, olive production), and regional trade (Middle East consumer goods). Our solutions support these core sectors—whether you’re a machinery maker sourcing components from Guangzhou’s industrial hubs, an agri-equipment supplier importing from Shenzhen’s tech factories, or a trader bringing goods from Dongguan’s manufacturing clusters. Our consolidation streamlines supply chains for time-sensitive operations, such as Turkiye’s textile production cycles (spring/summer collections) and agricultural harvests (autumn olive picking).

Confirm production timelines with each factory (e.g., 10 days for Guangzhou-made textile looms, 13 days for Shenzhen-manufactured harvesters).

Align pickup schedules to avoid storage gaps—critical for meeting Turkiye’s pre-production deadlines or agricultural harvest prep.

Verify product specs: TSE certification compatibility for industrial/agri goods (to meet Turkish safety standards), corrosion-resistant materials for machinery (to withstand Mediterranean humidity), and Middle East customs-friendly packaging (tamper-proof, bilingual labeled for cross-border transit).

Industrial machinery: Heavy-duty wooden crates (ISPM 15-certified for EU/Turkey import) + shock-absorbent foam (for textile looms, cranes) + TSE compliance labels (visible for customs scanning).

Agricultural equipment: Dust-proof covers + moisture-resistant liners (for harvesters, irrigation systems) + part number stickers (aligned with Turkish farm maintenance systems).

Middle East cargo: Waterproof crates + tamper-evident seals (for auto parts, electronics) + bilingual (English-Turkish-Arabic) shipping labels (for fast cross-border checks).

TSE certification validation (for industrial/agricultural goods, ensuring compliance with Turkiye’s Standards Institution rules).

ISPM 15 compliance (for wooden packaging, mandatory for Turkish import to prevent pest infestation).

Middle East customs prep (HS code verification, origin statement checks for duty exemptions).

Industrial machinery area: Reinforced floors (up to 65 tons) + easy-access ramps (for Mersin-bound trucks) + climate-controlled bays (for precision textile sensors).

Agricultural equipment section: Elevated shelves (to avoid floor moisture) + ventilated bins (for seed planters, fertilizer spreaders).

Middle East cargo zone: Ready-to-ship shelves (for fast loading) + temperature-controlled units (for electronics) + batch-labeled areas (to group Middle East destinations).

FCL loading: Heavy machinery (textile looms, cranes) at the base (secured with anti-slip steel straps and ISPM 15 pallets), agricultural equipment (harvesters) in the middle, and Middle East cargo (electronics) on top. We use 40HQ containers for bulky machinery to maximize space and reduce Turkish rail transport costs.

LCL consolidation: Group cargo by destination (e.g., "Istanbul Textile Factory", "Antalya Farm Co-op", "Baghdad Auto Parts Hub") with color-coded labels. We prioritize time-sensitive agricultural equipment for fast Mersin clearance—critical for pre-harvest prep.

Export documents: Itemized commercial invoices (with HS codes: 8447 for textile looms, 8433 for harvesters, 8708 for auto parts), packing lists (with TSE/ISPM 15 references), and certificates of origin (to claim CTFTA duty benefits).

Import/transit prep: Mersin customs declarations, TSE compliance reports, and Middle East transit permits (for Iraqi/Jordanian border crossing).

Optimized routing: Suez Canal direct routes reduce transit by 6–8 days vs. northern European ports (e.g., Hamburg).

Terminal alignment: Our packaging fits Mersin’s container handlers—cutting unloading time by 25% (critical for agricultural harvests).

Reduced admin: We handle TSE compliance, CTFTA claims, and Middle East transit permits—saving your team 70% of paperwork vs. managing multiple shipments.

FCL cost cuts: Consolidating cargo into full containers reduces sea freight costs by 16–26% (e.g., a 40HQ for textile machinery costs 22% less than two 20GPs).

LCL shared space: Splitting containers with other corporate clients saves 16–26% vs. booking a full container for small shipments (e.g., agri-supplies).

Duty savings: CTFTA exemptions (0–5% on industrial/agricultural goods) + Mersin’s transit tax breaks save an additional 8–12% annually.

End-to-end tracking: Our system monitors cargo from factory pickup to Mersin delivery—and beyond to Turkiye’s interior or Middle East. You get alerts for terminal arrival, Turkish customs clearance, and border crossing.

Comprehensive insurance: Covers sea risks (Suez Canal delays, Mediterranean storms), terminal damage, Turkish rail transport accidents, and Middle East road transit risks. Industrial clients get additional coverage for machinery installation errors.

EXW: We pick up from your suppliers’ factories (even remote zones in Foshan/Zhongshan), handle consolidation, sea freight, Mersin clearance, and coordinate Turkiye/Middle East transport—ideal if you lack regional logistics expertise.

FOB: Your suppliers deliver to our Guangzhou warehouse; we manage consolidation, shipping, pre-clearance, and Mersin unloading—keeping you in control of production timelines.

CIF (Port Mersin Inclusive): End-to-end management (consolidation, shipping, insurance, clearance, and regional transport coordination) with no hidden fees. Agricultural clients get free equipment calibration support at no extra cost.

Turkish expertise: We understand Mersin’s TSE compliance and CTFTA rules—avoiding costly customs delays.

Regional network: We partner with Mersin’s licensed transporters and Middle East customs brokers to deliver cargo to Istanbul, Ankara, Baghdad, or Amman in 2–5 days.

24/7 multilingual support: Our team (fluent in English, Turkish, and basic Arabic) assists with Turkish customs issues, Middle East transit changes, or TSE certification questions—critical for Mersin’s corporate clients.
