Port services in ports of Turkey, Europe and CIS countries.

Cargo transshipment is transshipment or transfer of cargo from one type of transport to another or from one means of transport to another.

When transporting goods from Turkey, Egypt, Europe, CIS countries the transshipment in ports presents an integral part of the supply chain because in most cases the transportation is carried out with the use of water transport.

The direct transshipment is usually used for small shipments.
