JAPAN shipping liner NYK's Selene Leader, a pure car and truck carrier (PCTC), last week made its first call at Port Yarimca, a finished-car logistics terminal that NYK participated in the building of the facility in Turkey.
The terminal is Turkey's first terminal based in the suburbs of Istanbul to be dedicated to finished cars. The terminal opened in November 2021 and is operated by a joint venture established by NYK and the port operating company of the OYAK Group, one of Turkey's major conglomerates. It is a high standard terminal with multi-storey car park and value-added services such as PDI.
NYK will utilise the accumulated know-how of finished-car transportation and finished-car terminal operation to meet the needs of customers, including automobile manufacturers, through the operation of the terminal.
In accordance with its medium-term management plan "Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalisation and Green," the NYK Group seeks to expand the entire auto-logistics business by building a global network and continue to provide high-quality and competitive services with the knowledge and experience cultivated all over the world, the shipping line said in a statement.
The facility at Port Yarimca has a pier length of 539 metres with a sea depth of between 12 and 14 metres. It covers a yard area of about 180,000 square metres with parking slots for about 17,700 units.
