Akçansa Port and Grimaldi Group Sign Strategic Cooperation Agreement

Akçansa Port has reached an agreement with Grimaldi Group, one of the world's leading companies in international Ro-Ro services, to provide international Ro-Ro services to the group. 

Akçansa Port, which stands out in the sector with port operations providing quality and fast solutions, has added international Ro-Ro services to its range of offerings.

Egekont, which represents Grimaldi Group in Turkey and operates under the Arkas Holding umbrella, launched Ro-Ro sailings from Istanbul Ambarlı Port to Trieste Port in Italy as of 14 September, as part of the strategic partnership with Akçansa Port. In the initial phase, sailings from Turkey, which take place twice a week, are carried out using the group's environmentally friendly hybrid vessels. The vessels facilitate cargo transportation with their high capacity.

"We are pleased to support the growth of our country's commercial activities"

Akçansa General Manager Vecih Yılmaz, noting that Akçansa Port continues its innovative efforts aimed at ensuring customer satisfaction through its modern infrastructure, agile business capabilities and environmentally friendly approach, said that they have expanded their service range through partnerships they have undertaken. Yılmaz stated: "While our main areas of activity are the cement and ready-mix concrete sectors, we focus on effectively managing the strategic assets we possess. Through the services we provide from our ports under the Akçansa Port brand, we continuously support the growth of our country's commercial activities. We are pleased to enter into a partnership with Grimaldi Group, one of the leading global companies in international Ro-Ro services, and to enrich our port operations at the global level. We are especially pleased to contribute to our country's exports through Ro-Ro sailings from our Ambarlı Port to Italy. With this service we provide, we have also created an important alternative for our industry and trade. On the other hand, I wish that this important partnership we have established with Grimaldi Group, which embraces a similar approach to sustainability and operates its sailings through vessels with low carbon emissions, will be beneficial for all parties and our country's commercial life."
