Construction of İzmir Çandarlı Container Port and Port of Filyos in Zonguldak will be completed within the next year.

Zoning plans for a transit freight – oriented main container port and shipyard will also begin in East Mediterranean Region.

Constructions that will provide transportation between railroads, highways and ports, will be completed. Port administration will implement a new model of port which may remove disorder and adopt the policies that will be determined by the public, by considering requirements of ports.
