ACTIVITIES
Through our high-quality, fast and solution-oriented port operations, we create value for the future of our country.
Guided by our commitment to creating value for our country and society, we carry out our operations across the Marmara, Aegean and Black Sea regions. We produce cement and clinker at our three integrated plants located in İstanbul Büyükçekmece, Çanakkale and Samsun–Ladik. Our port operations are conducted at the Çanakkale and İstanbul–Ambarlı ports. In addition, we operate four terminals, three active aggregates plants and twenty-six ready-mix concrete plants.*
At all our facilities, production processes are carried out in line with the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO 50001 Energy Management System and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standards.
*We have 31 ready-mix concrete and 4 aggregate plants; 26 ready-mix concrete and 3 aggregate plants operate actively for Akçansa. The remaining facilities are leased to different operators and/or have no production during the year.
Our Ports
By continuously enhancing our service approach focused on quality, speed and solution-oriented operations through our İstanbul–Ambarlı and Çanakkale ports, we steadily increase our operational volume year after year.
Established in 1993 solely to handle Akçansa’s cargo operations, our İstanbul Ambarlı Port has evolved over time into a strong port structure that delivers comprehensive and reliable services, driven by its strategic location and growing customer demand. Today, our facility, located within Türkiye’s largest port complex, has become one of the most important ports in the region by providing bulk cargo, general cargo, liquid cargo, container and Ro-Ro handling services on the European side of İstanbul. With a quay length of 930 meters, our port can serve up to seven vessels simultaneously, with a maximum vessel size of 80,000 DWT.
With an annual capacity of 45,000 TEU of containers, 3 million tons of bulk cargo and 150,000 vehicles for Ro-Ro operations, it is the largest bulk cargo and Ro-Ro port on the European side of İstanbul.
We further strengthened our position as the only port on the European side of İstanbul with a Ro-Ro ramp through the investments we made in 2024. Within this scope, we continue to carry out our global Ro-Ro operations. Currently, three regular Ro-Ro sailings per week are operated to the Port of Trieste. These operations provide significant advantages for our customers in terms of time savings, operational efficiency and environmental sustainability. With this development, our customs area has expanded by 25%, while our vehicle storage capacity has increased by 60%.
In 2023, our capacity to offer more accessible and scalable solutions to our customers was further strengthened when our Çanakkale Port began serving third-party cargo. Third-party operations at our Çanakkale Port continue on a regular basis.
As of 2025, we have taken our port operations a step further by launching Pilotage and Towage services at our Çanakkale Port. This development enhances safety standards in our maritime operations while further strengthening our position in the sector.
2Through the Akçansa Port brand, the services offered at the Ambarlı port deliver timely, fast and operationally excellent solutions to customer demands. Within a modern port management approach supported by a maritime and logistics transportation network, container, bulk cargo, general cargo, liquid cargo, project cargo and Ro-Ro services are provided.
