Port of Iskenderun

Iskenderun, strategically positioned on Turkey’s eastern Mediterranean coast in Hatay Province, operates under UN/LOCODE TRISK and the Europe/Istanbul time zone, leveraging its coordinates at 36.584673° N, 36.175616° E to serve as a vital gateway for bulk cargo, containerized trade, and energy shipments linking the Anatolian interior with Levantine markets; its deep‑water berths, modern rail‑road connections, and integrated logistics zones support efficient vessel turnaround, while proximity to the Çukurova industrial corridor and the Syrian border enhances its role in regional supply chains, making Iskenderun a critical node in the Eastern Mediterranean maritime network. Continued infrastructure investments ensure its competitiveness for future maritime growth.
