The Effects of Maritime Transport on the Turkish Economy

This study aims to evaluate the the effects of maritime transport on the Turkish economy. Due to its geographical location advantage, the length of the seacoasts, and the fact that a large part of the population and industry is located on the shores, Turkey has the potential to meet its resource needs. The geostrategic location of Turkey dictates the utilization of this productive resource. Freight transport on sea routes, which are the veins of the economy, has a special importance for Turkey with its 8,333 km of coastline and 180 ports. With its strategic location in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea regions, Turkey serve as a commercial bridge between Asia, Africa and Europe. Our ports in the Marmara Sea, our inland sea, also make an important contribution to trade. In conclusion, the Turkish economy benefits so much from the maritime transport on the cargo carried by sea. The economic contribution of maritime transport to Turkey is not only with its maritime economic value, but it also actually contributes directly to the entire trade and economy of Turkey. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the economic value of maritime transport, which keeps the economy dynamic and will continue to do so, especially with more national contributions.
