The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has released detailed data showing that Turkish ports processed a total of 9.06 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) from January through August 2024. This figure represents a significant 9.1% increase compared to the 8.3 million TEUs handled during the same period in 2023. The rise in container traffic reflects an overall growth trend in port activity, driven by increased demand and improved operational efficiencies across the ports managed by the ministry. This boost in TEU volume underscores the strengthening of Turkey’s maritime logistics sector and its growing role in global trade.
