Analyzing Maritime Transport Export: A Case Study of Mersin Port in Turkey

Maritime transport is of great importance in our country, which is surrounded by seas on three sides. Thanks to the many ports in our country, maritime trade has an important place in our country. Ports are one of the key points of our country's maritime trade and transportation. Mersin Port, which is a gateway to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, is one of these key points. In this study, the maritime transport realized in Mersin Port and the maritime transports realized in our country were examined. There are multiple different ways and methods of exporting. One of these is exporting by sea transportation. Sea transport exports are actually the largest in terms of export methods and the cheapest. Perhaps the only downside is that it arrives a little later than air export or land export. However, while you have to make more than one shipment with other export routes, the fact that you will do it at once with maritime transport exports reveals that it is more advantageous than other ways.
