Turkish yards, especially the leadingseptet that designed and built thefirst project now aspire to becomeexporters of such naval projects.

This comes as no surprise as a handful ofshipyard have been known to build militaryor defense related boats and export acrossthe world for some time now. Yards nowscale up their targets in order to sell naval

ships in the same markets. According toMr. Serdar Demirel, Head of Naval ProjectsDepartment under the Undersecratariat forDefense Industries, these are notunfounded ambitions. “Turkish shipyardshave learnt designing and building navyships very well and now conditions areripe to start selling these projects” hesays.

Port values hit billion asforeigner interest mounts

EDITORIAL...Stepping out of the big picture...Those who are in can either suffer or

savor...perhaps they can enjoy the tranquilityor maybe thrown in perplexion. Either waythey can not judge or evaluate correctly. Anyassessment they would dare to make, couldonly match the description of an elephantmade by a blindfolded person who is onlyallowed to touch a single limb. To perceivecorrectly one must take an outsideperspective knowing that nothing iscomposed of singularity. This is whatobjectivism is made of. When assessing theupheaval that started from Tunisia, quicklyspilled over Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Yemen,Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and is feared to spreadfurther, I think we should take aconspirational approach rather than easilyaccepting that is “the uprising of oppressedminority –whose share from their oil richcountries’ income has only been poverty -against tyrants, their puppet governmets,military and ignoble middle-class.

Multi-polar global economyEast and West have started to weigh

somewhat equally on both ends of the globaleconomical power balance, whichis theprimary factor influencing people and sociallife. World economy now revolves not onlyaround US, EU or Japan, but also Russia,Brasil, China, Korea, India, Malaysia,Singapore and even Turkey. In this multi-polar environment, the West and its cultureno longer reap the reward alone. Perhaps themost successful maneuverings have beenmade in Turkey, where the incumbentgovernment, encouraged by massive publicsupport, revamped its economy as well asreshaping the sovereign structure into moreglobally integrated and active one that hasbecome more active in foreign policy. Mr.Obama’s succession to US Presidency alsoemerged as a success of this mulipolar lineup. This provided the world with a new viewthat Middle Eastern and Arabian totalitarianregimes, once nourished and supported bythe west could now pose a threat for it. Israela regional superpower has been cornered viaTurkey, exposing to the world its oppressivedeeds in the region. As the world started todiscuss how to rid the region from suchrepression, a spark in Tunisia, ignited a hugefervor that spread over other Arabiancountries, which became the beacon of hopefor the people in the region. May Israel soonbe given the same enlightening…Thesemovements for the time being seem to beseeking after secularity and democracy and

not advocating furtherdiscrimination andchauvinism. Let us allhope the movements arenot corrupted into amonster to the benefit offoreign powers.

Impact farweaker thanexpected

The impact ofturmoil manifestsitself in oil prices, Euro/USD party, interest inreal terms as well as gold prices. Soaring oilprices already has had some setback ondependant countries, while lack ofcommercial activity has been causing atemporary economic slowdown.

While Arabian world is embroiled inpolitical disarray, Japan was hit by a fargreater force. The earthquake and thenuclear crisis in the aftermath is set to havemore serious consequences on the globaleconomy. Nikkei slumped, primarycommodity prices such as of wheat sharplydeclined, followed by sales. Ensuing nuclearhazard, it seems, will fuel the uncertainty andchaos.

Turkey still safe heavenAs for Turkey, quoting Ali Babacan, the

prime minister’s deputy, “Turkey’s riskpremiums are still below 12 EU members”.The treasury issued 2.17 billion USD worthyen denominated bond -or “Samurai Bills”-supported by JBIJ (Japanese Export & ImportBank) on the day of the earthquake. Thisalone is a good indication of Japaneseconfidence in Turkish economy.

Solar power plants in African the desertsThe catastrophe in Japan proved to the

world that industrial capitalism’s powersources are no longer sustainable.Desertec, the Association of DesertTechnologies founded with the lead ofenergy giant ABB with contributions fromSolar Millenium AG and Hassan Bin Talal,former Jordan King’s brother, contemplatessolar investments in North African deserts,with the Sahara topping the list.

Published bi-monthly

Turkey is reported to have 176ports and piers, mostly ownedprivately and are likely toincrease in number as The

Ministry of Transport has revealedplans to build four container hub ports.First of such projects, North AegeanPort to be situated in Çandarlı region,is set to become one of the 10 largestport facilities in the world and will beannounced for tender this year. .Fullstory on this 400 million dollar built-operate-transfer investment is coveredon this page separately.

As over 90 percent of Turkishforeign trade is handled through thecountry ports, underlying reason forsudden swell in interest seems ratherobvious. Government’s goal ofachieving half a trillion dollars ofexports by the end of 2023, -which

marks the Republic’s centenary- whetsthe port operators’ appetite sinceexport is likely to trigger imports

almost equally. Local big playersappear to have been playing a biggerrole in privatizations while foreign

investors seem keener nowadays tostep in with partnerships or outrightinvestment. At this pace, new projectswill double port capacities in the next 5years, experts suggest.

Ports back to good old days2010 statistics on cargo handling

reveal that Turkish ports’ activity hascaught up with pre-crisis figures. 2010saw increases of about 29 percent incontainer, 44 percent in dry bulk orgeneral cargo and 52 percent in vehiclehandlings recorded throughout thecountry ports. These translate to 5.8million TEU’s of containers, 101 milliontones of dry cargo and 1.5 millionvehicles. Liquid cargo handlings on thecontrary took a substantial plunge from38 million tons in 2009 to 15 milliontons last year.

Port values hit billion asforeigner interest mountsTurkish ports, ironically in contrast with early 90’s when they were first lined up for privatization,become the centre of attention as Turkish government envisions 500 billion dollar export volume by2023. While new projects are likely to be rolled out, existing ports draw interest from local and foreignmajor players, some to an extent that push the values to record heights. Container terminalsparticularly appeal to the investors.

Big groups come into play During the past 17 years,

operational concessions of 16 portspreviously controlled by StateRailways (TCDD) have beentransferred to private sector. Thisprivatization move has yielded 1,657billion dollar to the Turkish treasury.While during the 90’s, only localplayers had declared interest forprivatizations, today they are at gripswith global port operators over suchacquisitions. Among the mostremarkable investments were AkkökGroup’s acquisition of Port of Tekirdağwhich followed a 60 million dollarsinvestment for improvements, ÇelebiHoldings’ Port of Bandırma investmentand Limak Group’s Port of Iskenderunpurchase. Port of Derince was alsobought, however the sale has beenabolished to the frustration of highestbidder Türkerler Group. HüsnüÖzyeğin owned FIBA Group’s Kumportbuyout was also an eye-catcher.

DPA enters with land purchaseOne of the first companies to set a

foothold in Turkey for portinvestments was Dubai Ports

Authority, which spent 105 milliondollars to buy suitable land to set up acontainer terminal in the Gulf of Izmit.Project in consideration calls for 257hectare landfill towards the sea inorder to create sufficient space to stackover 800 thousand containers. Projectalso incorporates two 912 meter longpiers for berthing.

PSA – Akfen venture beefs up Mersin performanceSingapore based PSA Group took a

more indirect approach and badealong jointly with Akfen for Port ofMersin tender in 2007 andsubsequently assigned operationalrights for 36 years in a 755 milliondollar deal. The venture has investedover 100 million dollars so far into theport and aims to reach 1.7 million TEUcapacity by 2012.

Hutchison lost Izmir deal, mired in bureaucracyChinese port operator Hutchison

laid eyes on Port of Izmir in 2007 andwas awarded the 49 year contract foroperational rights of the facilities for1,275 billion US dollars. However,Hutchison -accompanied in a jointventure with Global and Limaş- had ashort lived victory as the tender wasbrought before the State Council forreassessment. Although after 29months, Global-Hutchison-Limaş JointVenture was reaffirmed as winner,Hutchison withdrew from the deal due

to lack of finance amid emergingglobal crisis. Despite the dramaticoutcome, Turkish Ministry ofTransport is said to reschedule tenderafter carrying out 300 million USdollar worth improvements.Constitutional amendments made lastyear are understood to preclude suchbureaucratic setbacks in privatizationand allow for swifter procedure.

MSC’s Asyaport poised for leadershipSecond largest global container

carrier Mediterranean ShippingCompany (MSC) has been gearing upto build Turkey’s largest container portso far. The 400 million US dollar worthproject which is conducted jointly withother port affiliates of MSC Group,involves establishment of a 2,5 million

TEU terminal in Tekirdağ. Asyaport isslated for full capacity commissioningin 2016.

Aliaga welcomes Spanish InvestorTCB Group of Spain has also picked

Gulf of Izmir and Aegean waters forport investments, it appears. TCEEGEcontainer terminal project initiated atthe Gulf of Nemrut in Aliaga region iscurrently active and handles 400thousand TEU’s annually. The facilitiesare equipped with latest portmachinery including 3 mobile winches,5 container stackers of 45 ton capacityand 18 heavy duty container trailers.In addition investments for 6 RubberTyred Gantry (RTG) cranes and 2 piercranes are underway. Port reportedlytargets 1 million TEU capacityannually.

Germans scoutİzmir for portinvestments

Turkey kicks offgrand port project

International investment appeal of Izmir, Turkey’sAegean hub seems to have started burgeoning as twoGerman researchers have reportedly embarked uponthe city on a “reconnaissance” mission.Germany’s interest in Izmir has become more

pronounced as two researchers from Hamburg PortConsulting (HPC) GmbH, paid visits to several organizationsin the city including the Chamber of Shipping Branch.Economists Dr. Stephan Dahm and Dr. Claudia Reidiger, inthe course of their research for an assessment of portinvestment possibilities, met Chamber of Shipping IzmitBranch Chairman Geza Dologh and Vice President YusufÖztürk last week. Izmir Regional Port Directorate was also intheir agenda, as Director Halil Hatipoğlu was asked about thecargo traffic management plans and forecast concerning thearea. Mr. Dologh, in a press conference after the meetings,stated that the guests have been briefed regarding the futureinfrastructural needs of the region in tandem with half abillion export volume goal set by the government for 2023.“Country growth will certainly boost port activities, whichneed to be supported with additional investments unless wewant to encounter bottlenecks” he said.

Dr. Dahm also made a statement, citing their purpose asto collect data for an undisclosed international investor whoseriously considers port projects in Izmir. Although Dr.Dahm praised the city for its recent rise to significanceamong East European port cities, he did not provide anyspecific information on the intended investment.

Port of Çandarlı project, designated to rank amongWorld’s top 10 largest terminals, is set to call forbids during March. Expected to admit first vessel in2013, Turkey’s largest port project is planned as a

build-operate-transfer business model.Ambitiously set out to become one of the 10 largest ports

globally upon completion, Northern Aegean Port (Port ofÇandarlı) project will be up for tender on 24 March 2011.With a hefty budget over 400 million US dollars and plannedbuild-operate-transfer business model, project drawsinternational interest. The port is aimed to play a vital role inTurkish foreign trade as the government envisions over 500billion US dollar worth exports at the 100th anniversary ofRepublic’s foundation in 2023. Although the project has beendelayed due to the Ministry of Transport’s plans to apply for600 million Euro worth EU loans concerning infrastructuralinvestments off the coast, according to State Railway, Portand Airport Construction Administration (DLH) GeneralManager Mr. Ahmet Arslan the project will no longer hit anyhurdles and the first vessel is expected to be admitted in 2013.

Project to challenge PiraeusCapable of admitting vessels over 200.000 dwt with 800

meter breakwater length and 40 meter draught, Çandarlı isdesigned as a hub port for East Mediterranean and Aegeanbasin, which has long been dominated by the Greek hubPiraeus. According to the officials, the project will be fourtimes larger than its reigning Greek competitor. It is furtherunderstood form DLH that the port will have be built upon8.000 hectares of land. Infrastructural improvement willreportedly accelerate following the tender.

Bilateral trade volume betweenTurkey and Italy exceeded 16.7billion USD in 2010 and -accordingto statistics- outperformed the

previous year by almost 33 percent on theimport and 11 percent on the export side. Italyhas thus been the fourth largest trade partnerof the country, being also the fifth biggestinvestor with 825 companies having directlyexpanded into the Turkish market. All of these,it seems, encourage both countries to enlivenhistorical commercial ties.

Italian Embassy and Venice Port Authoritypaid a visit last week to Istanbul shippingsociety with purpose to brief on recentimprovements made at the port and possibleadvantages. Italian Ambassador to Turkey Mr.Gianpaolo Scarante marked the importance oftheir visit saying “The trade route betweenIstanbul and Venice has undeniable historicalsignificance and our goal for this visit is to startits revival”. Mr. Scarante also commended onTurkish economy.

Venetian Port Authority President Mr.Paolo Costa, similarly cited the importance of

growing trade volumes and expressed thepotential of the Port of Venice, whichaccording to him, is structured to meet theneed of small and medium enterprises whorely on Ro-Ro trade. Mr. Costa also made apresentation on the contemplatedimprovements at the port facilities which,upon completion, will permit simultaneousberthing of four vessels. “We plan to realizethe project in a year and a half. Turkey is themost important market in the mediterraneanfor us, while we strive to develop furtherrelations with other East Mediterraneancountries like Greece, Egypt, Syria and Israel”he said.

Straight forward support from Kalkavan Turkish Chamber of Shipping Chairman

Mr. Metin Kalkavan, commenting on theattempt, said “I would have hardly guessedVenice would be promoting its Ro-Roterminals here and for this I would like thankthe person behind thought” and reminded UNRo-Ro’s Trieste Line. He also pointed out toenvironmental concerns and emphasized thepossible cut of carbon emissions in the eventthat Ro-Ro lines are preffered over regularland transporation. Mr. Kalkavan said that theTurkish shipping society “welcomed suchproposals coming from important countries asItaly”.

One of the attendants to the receptionTrabzon based Alport’s Operations ManagerMr. Muzeffer Ermiş, brought a differentperspective into the project. “This presentationcalls to mind a possibility to set up Trabzon-Venice route too, perhaps constituting westernextention for the trans-caucasian trade” hesaid half suggesting an idea addressing theItalian delegation, which was met withimmediate interest. Mr. Costa respondedsaying “We take it as a marriage proposalwhich we do wish to accept” and emphasisedthat such lines could be “establishedrightaway, should there be sound interest onthe owners’ side for deploying their vesselsalong this route.

Natural Shipping, a charteringand brokerage house created by threepartners in early 2000’s, enjoys a wellearned reputation in that respect.Chartering Manager Mr. Buhari Kaçan,stated that the group had alreadyassisted in six S&P deals, all of whichwere entry acquisitions of non-shippinginvestors.

seen plenty of Turkish connectedsecond hand purchases lately. It wasonce only specific to deep rootedshipping companies, he remarked andadded “But now many investors comingfrom diverse sectors make modern andcapable fleet acquisitions”. A textilecompany reportedly paid 60 millionUSD to purchase three handysizevessels -obviously because Naturaladvised them so- followed by someconstruction companies. Mr. Kaçanexplained that Natural initally takes upconsultancy for those who are willing toventure into shipping. “Then if theinvestors finds our proposal feasible, wefind the right vessel for them and assistthem in technical and commercial

operations” he said, pointing out to thegroups triple-aspect added valueservices.

Handysize investments “financially attractive” Mr. Kaçan also compared shipping

investments with others and opinedthat investors preferred handysizeinvestments due to its better return onequity when global economy is stable.He emphasized that a company withthree or four handy’s used to earnalmost 5 million USD prior to crisis, acash flow regime which attracts non-shipping companies into the sector as afuture investment.

Gloomy outlook for 2011Mr. Kaçan said in comment to

current situtation that 2011 “shouldbe year for taking some time off” toobserve the markets . “The swellingbubble burst in 2008, while 2009 and2010 saw massive cash injections inan attempt to restore the balancequickly”, he said and added that themarkets are still inclined to makeadjustments. He also said that hereckoned further declines in assetvalues and warned that “althougheverybody is trying to hold on,several big players might file forbankruptcy”. Mr. Kaçan pointed outto high commodity and fuel pricesand stated that the market neededtime to settle.

Deval is among the few Turkishshipping companies to gothrough the crisis relativelyunharmed. Bearish sales

market apparently did not pose a barrierfor this company to get good bids for itsolder fleet as the 1974 built 17.000 dwt

bulker Sibel Deval has been reportedsold to Syrian Green Arrow Shipping for2 million USD. Company is understoodto have purchased the vessel for 2,85million USD in 1993. According to aTradewinds report, yet another Syrian,Yamak Group purchased 15.700 dwt

duo, the 1979 built Hakkı Deval and1980 built Serra Deval for 5 million USDlast summer. Deval is also known tohave divested a chemical tanker, the7.100 dwt m/t Plevne just before 2010in a 12 million USD deal.

Meanwhile the company eyes up

spring delivery of resale twins slatedfor April and June. Deval is said tohave acquired the 30.000 dwthandysize bulkers from YA/SA in2009. The pair have been renamed to“Servet Ana” and “Lady Saliha”respectively.

Turkish Government’s decision to liftban on livestock imports creates newfields of business for shipowners.Horizon, shipping subsidiary of

Çalışkan Group whose mainstay includes livecattle trade, is set to convert the Ro-Ro itrecently purchased into a livestock carrier inTuzla and deploy for its own shipments.

Horizon Shipping has been drawing someattention with second hand purchases since2009-2010, when the market was going throughthe most merciless moments. Company’s recentventure into the livestock shipping market datesback to previous year when governmentabolished bans on live cattle imports. Horizonhas begun importing Uruguayan and Australian

cattle using third party tonnage until recently, asthe company adopted a more outrightinvestment approach and resolved to build upown tonnage. Horizons first move, in thatrespect, has been the Ro-Ro conversion, whichwill earn the company a vessel with room for6.500 heads of cattle.

Horizon’s latest batch of live cattleshipments, consisting of 10.000 heads of cattle,arrived during the first week of March.Including this last shipment, number oflivestock imported by Horizon tots up to23.000 and as the company plans to make oneshipment every month, it expects to haveimported a total of 50.000 heads by the end ofthe year.

İstanbul based Vera Shipping seems to be yetanother owner on the Turkish handysize investorsbandwagon. The company’s latest acquisitionadded the third ship to the existing two vessel fleet

of handysize, in the meantime drawing the attention onitself.

Vera’s existing fleet consisted of vessels HanjinIstanbul and Sea Honest, 1997 built sisters of 27.000dwt capacity which were reportedly purchased for 15.8million USD each, before “El Condor Pasa”, the 2001Muroran built 33.476 dwt handy joined. Formerowners, Kyokutou Kaiun Jitsugyo KK with headquartersin Toyo, Japan have reportedly handed over the vesselto Vera for 19 million USD. An interesting detail in thesale is how Vera reportedly chose to rename the vessel,merely by dropping the last letter and naming her “ElCondor Pas”.

Horizon sets foothold on livestock business

Arecent acquisiton made byTurkish ship salvagecompany Solar SalvageServices places its name well

up in country’s list of marine salvors,as the purchase involved the mostpowerful tug owned so far by Turkishsalvors. Solar aims to employ its newvessel for off-shore oil and natural gasrig operations particularly in the BlackSea and also throughout the region inanticipation of soon to flourishbusiness.

Solar Ship Salvage together withits affiliate Beaufort Salvage Services,is a relatively young salvor group,established in 2006 after the demiseof Omur Ship Salvage –one ofTurkey’s pioneers in ship salvage backin 90’s. The name of the group’srecent acquisition, “Emre Omur” is a

throw-back to that era when late Mr.Emre Omur used to succesfully runthe ancestor company.

Solar had last year drawnattention as it was involved in thetowage of m/s Mavi Marmara, apassenger vessel that was bound toGaza to deliver humanitarin suppliesbut was eventually intercepted byIsraeli marines with a brutal operationthat caused sustained tensionbetween Israel and Turkey. The groupappears set to grow steadily with newand powerful tugs as recently anAnchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel(AHTS) packed with over 7.000horsepower and 80 tonne pullingcapacity has been admited to the fleet.Although not the youngest, this 1977built unit is so far the most powerfulone owned by Turkish salvors.

Solar, with this purchase,cemented its position in offshoresalvage and support operations.Purchased from Spain during 2nd halfof 2010, AHTS Emre Omur will addremarkably to the power of tug“Ocean Ergun” a 3.400 horsepowervessel with 40 tonne bollar pullcapacity. According to General

Manager Mr. Murat Dalyan, the duowill assist in regular firefighting andtowage services as well as servingoffshore platforms particularly in theBlack Sea region. Mr. Dalyan foreseesincrease in the potential of suchoperation in the region along withburgeoning oil rig business acrossBlack Sea and East Mediterranean.

Mr. Dalyan cited the success stories of other towage and salvagecompanies in Turkey and praised them for their performance andaccomplishments. “We are proud with Medmarine, Sanmar, Uzmar andBoğaiçi who are widely acclaimed abroad” he praises, and adds “Turkeyalready became a decent brand in building tugs, however lacks a sounddomestic design”.

Leiv Eiriksson passed thoughthe Turkish straits duringJanuary 2010 on its way toBlack Sea to perform ultra-

deep sea drilling tasks for the TurkishPetroleum Corporation (TPAO) –Petrobras cooperation. Almost a yearafter its arrival, worlds second largestplatform is set to head back toNorway, just after making a last call atBeşiktaş Shipyard to go throughmaintenance for the journey ahead.The large sea structure once againpassed through the Bosphorus on the12th of March -accompanied by manytugboats- and was towed east forBeşiktaş dock where she is estimatedto stay about 2 months. The shipyardwas given much praise for this bolddeal as it spearheads Turkish

shipyards to edge over exceptionaland complicated shipyardbusiness fields.

Straits greet next guestJust as Leiv Eiriksson was

passing through the Bosphorus,American Exxon Mobil’s speciallybuilt oil exploration vessel the“Deepwater Champion” enteredDardanelles. Cited as one of themost sophisticated vessels of itskind, Vanuatu flagged 229 meterlong and 98 meter high vesselcame all the way from South Koreacalling at Port of Bandırma where hertall tower will be temporarilytrimmed to make it safely under theBoshporus bridges, a process LeivEiriksson had to endure twice.

Tug builder Sanmar Ltd. hasdelivered the first tug in theseries of four, ordered byCanada-Voncouver based

Seaspan. The contract, covering twopairs of 70 and 80 tonne bollard pulltugs, was inked last August.

Turkish tug builder and operatorSanmar, continues to cement itsreputation and ties with tug operatorsworldwide as new orders flow. Sanmarwas commissioned by CanadianSeaspan last August for four tugboats,consisting of two 70 tonne bollar pulland two 80 tonne bollar pull duos. First

vessel of the Canadian orderbook, the“Seaspan Raven” was delivered lastmonth, to Vancouver based operators.It is learnt from Sanmar that SeaspanRaven has a proven design owing toRobert Allan’s Rastar 2800, but hasbeen slightly modified to meet theCanadian Flag and Unionrequirements. Each tug incorporates apair of Caterpillar 3512B engines,developing 1.840 kW of power andRolls-Royce controllable pitchpropellers. Seaspan is understood toemploy these vessels in pacific coastoperations.

Beşiktaş has been awarded the repair andmaintenance job to be carried onboard theworld’s second largest drilling rig the “LeivEiriksson”, which is done exploring for oil andnatural gas reserves in Black Sea and preparesto head back.

Turkish yards, especially theleading septet that designedand built the first project nowaspire to become exporters of

such naval projects. This comes as nosurprise as a handful of shipyard havebeen known to build military ordefense related boats and export across

the world for some time now. Yardsnow scale up their targets in order tosell naval ships in the same markets.According to Mr. Serdar Demirel, Headof Naval Projects Department under theUndersecratariat for DefenseIndustries, these are not unfoundedambitions. “Turkish shipyards have

learnt designing and building navyships very well and now conditions areripe to start selling these projects” hesays.

An article published on 14 February 2011 issue of Wall Street

Undersecretariat for Defense Industries shifts gears

Government in talks overnaval ship exports Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, reportedly having awarded over 60 military boat and navalvessel project to local shipyards, now negotiates over several other new projects with the yards.However these new projects are intended for sale as the undersecretariat revealed talks withprospective “clients”.


domestic contribution levels to 70percent. Only 7 shipyards out of 69active ones have been approved tobuild naval ships. Despiteundersecretariat’s plans to furtherreduce the number of eligible yard to5, many private yards undergoimprovements in order to drawmilitary projects. Some even go as faras starting cooperation talks withlarge European institutions involvingnaval ship building.

Mr. Demirel, in a speech duringSMM Istanbul Fair held duringJanuary pointed out to discipline andspecialised investment necessities ofnaval shipbuilding and argued thatthe yard involved in such projects donot generally profit. “The shipyards

will start making money if they canproceed to the final stage of militaryprojects. First two stages were designand successful application which havebeen accomplished. We haveconcentrated efforts in marketingthese projects abroad” he said alsomentioning about the possibility ofdomestic main engine building incooperation with MTU and someother engine makers.

Naval tally exceeds 2 billion dollarsMeanwhile it is estimated that

total value of military orders placedamounts over 2 billion US dollars. 60separate projects have mostly takenoff while the undersecretariat plans to

book further projects including“Landing Platform Dock - LPD”, “AirCushioned Landing Craft”, “SeismicResearch Vessel”, “FleetReplenishment Vessel” and “TrainingSailship”. Among them the LPD’s seemto be on the highlights as proposalsfor the first ship have been invited. Itis understood that after the proposalsubmission period ending on 16 May2011, qualified shipyards will beawarded 36 new projects includingthe first LPD. Further 27 AmphibiousAssault Vehicle (AAV), 4 MechanicalLanding Craft (LCM), 2 Personnel &Vehicle Landing Craft (LCVP), oneRigid-hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB)and one commander vehicle projectswill be commenced.

SHIPBUILDING

It took almost three decades for the naval projects to kick off from scratchas the National Warship Program (MILGEM) was first introduced by the Un-dersecretary for Defense Industries during early 90’s. The project was met withskepticism as the country was accustomed to importing defense technologi-es mainly from the US and Europe. Projects progressed at a sluggish pace un-til early and mid 2000’s when first military boat and small scale craft projectsstarted rolling off. A larger project involving domestic building of 11 corvetteswas also launched and two of these vessels were keel laid within the last twoyears. The lead ship in the series “TCE Heybeliada” slipped away last year fromPendik Military Yard marking the first big step in MILGEM. As the second ves-sel is underway at the same yard, Mr. Demirel opines the rest will “very likelybe offered to private yards”

Yonca-Onuk, cited as world leaderin high speed composite boatbuilding taps into internationalopportunities with contracts.

Managing Partner Mr. Ekber Onukdisclosed partnerships with state ownedAbu Dhabi Shipping regarding boats tobe produced for the Emirates alsoinforming about a similar cooperation inMalaysia involving a 10 boat order byMalaysian Coast Guard. The facilities inMalaysia will be aimed at marketing thebrand across Asia-Pacific region, he said.Mr. Ekber Onuk also mentioned aboutpossibilities in Qatar and Azerbaijan aswell as talk with Philippines, Indonesiaand India. According to Mr. Ekber Onuk,Yonca-Onuk recently started focussing

on larger crafts, a new effort to reinforceinternational awareness and expandnew horizons for the company. “Wedeveloped MRTP 40, a 43 meter craftwhich can attain 50 knots of speed, for atender announced by the AmericanCoast Guard” told Mr. Ekber Onuk,stating however that the project couldnot qualify due to concerns of it beingthe first of its class. The Americaninterest still continues on a differentlevel apparently, as Yonca-Onuk wasasked to submit a design for use inspecial operations. Mr. Ekber Onuk alsohinted the advent of a new series, whichthey proposed as an efficient weaponagainst piracy during conferences heldin Brussels.

IstanbulShipyard locatedin Tuzla, having decidedto change tack from commercial

shipbuilding to military projects 6 years ago,step up their efforts to export to other countries’naval forces as well as the Turkish Navy.

In a strategic attempt to cushion the blow fromeconomic crises, Istanbul Shipyard 6 years agoresolved to switch to military projects and allocate all

facilites for the navy. General Manager AtillaÇiftçigüzeli told Turkish Marine Post that first

military projects undertaken weremodernisation of 4 SAR 35 boats which

involved modifying the boats to reach26 knot speed with 3 engines. “Wedelivered the boats in short notice,capable of making 30 knots.

Currently a submarine recovery vesselcalled MOSHIP is subject for discussionswhich, if succesful, will be a first in theworld as current vessels can only reach

600 metres while this new vessel will beable to reach 1000 meters below the sea” heexplained. Mr. Çiftçigüzeli also mentioned thatIstanbul Shipyard has bidden in 2 other Rescue andTowage (Rat) vessel tenders.

“Milgem succeded above intended aims”Mr. Çiftçigüzeli praised the National Naval

Shipbuilding (Milgem) project and said it “exceededall expectations and went far above intended aims”.He also conveyed that both Turkish Navy and CoastGuard had the intention to entrust further projects todomestic shipyard and related industries. “During90’s domestic components used in a Turkish builtship only accounted for 10 percent. It has beensteadily increasing since 2000’s from 30 percent backthen to almost 70 percent today. This is anoutstanding success for our industry” he commented.According to him, the next step will be pressingahaed with R&D as currently 3 percent of IstanbulShipyard’s budget is reserved for such activities for astart.

Yard booked out bymilitary projects

Renowned composite naval boat builderYonca-Onuk inks contracts with UAE andMalaysia to start production abroad. Yard alsolooks to expand with outposts for globalmarket share and brand awareness.

14 Turkish Marine PostSHIPBUILDING

Yonca Onuk set for global expansion

Yonca-Onuk started naval projects during late 90’s by submitting a propo-sal at one of Turkish Undersecretariat for Defense Industries tenders. The com-pany was the only domestic bidder but stood out among all strong rivals withthe design. First boat was commissioned in 1998, to be followed by over 80 mo-re in the coming decade and onwards. MRTP 33 is the most acclaimed and fa-voured design of Yonca-Onuk as it is the world’s fastest high speed assault bo-at to date with 45 knots speed, 35 meter length and 115 tons of displacement.

Although Mr. Ekber Onuk started with doubt and reluctance in the aftermathof a deadly car accident that took his son Kaan Onuk, his eventual success ca-me with the design that was named after Kaan.

Mr. Ekber Onuk is pleased with the progress and steps so far taken in do-mestic naval industries. As a pioneer in Tuzla based R&D he says, “I believe Tur-key has become a country that can develop its own craft designs, build themand equip them with yet again own designed armament and equipment. Thisis of paramount importance as domestic contribution level soared to over 60 per-cent recently”.

Dearsan, being among the 7yards building ships onaccount of theUndersecreteriat for Defense

Industries was recently commissionedto build 16 patrol boats for the navy.The yard is also adept at buildingchemical tankers and tugs and isknown to work mostly export oriented,as the last two tugs have beendelivered to US buyers.

Led by Chairman Baki Gökbayrak,the yard was announced preferredbidder for the patrol boats in 2007 andcompleted necessary facility upgradesthat cost 1.5 million US dollars in2008. Project as a whole is estimatedto cost 400 million Euros. Dearsancurrently builds 8 fo the boats as wellas 3 tugs and a chemical tanker.

According to Dearsan MilitaryProjects coordinator Taner Akkaya,first patrol boat was delivered to theTurkish Navy last year while thecontract to build 16 boats will havebeen entirely fulfilled by 2015 as twoenclosed halls have been “fullydedicated to build the boats. Mr.Akkaya also emphasized that thedomestic contribution in this projectwill reach 69 percent and said “Thismeans almost 200 million Eurosremained in the country” pointing outto the support this project provides to

local manufacturers.

Patrol boats “A 6 billion dollar market”Mr. Akkaya stressed the main ship

support capability of patrol boatsunder construction and indicated thatincreasing piracy, smuggling andpollution incidents bolstered demandfor such boats. Akkaya said “It is beingsuggested that in 10 years’ time patrolboat market will reach 6 billion USdollars” and added that, Turkey beingamong the 22 nations in the world thatare capable of building such boats“could play a significant role”.

Once considered Europe’schemical tanker buildinghub, Turkey now aims toaccomplish the new goal of

becoming a repair and maintenancebase. Mauled rather heavily due tocrisis with orderbook cancelations andlagging demand, repair seems vital forTurkish yards’ survival.

Although reports suggest 2010having been a good year for SouthKorean and Chinese yards, exactly theopposite applies for Turkey as merelya handful among 120 yards -of which67 are active- have been given orders.While 7 more of them have queuedalong naval orders placed byUndersecretariat of DefenseIndustries, remaining majorityincluding relatively younger ones likeBeşiktaş and Sefine which are situatedin Yalova region, have concentratedon repair facility investments.

Shipbuilding experts state thatdocking installations are topmost inthe list of such investments. 15 yardsare known to possess floating docks,the largest of them being Kıran Groupaffiliate Tuzla Shipyard’s dock with100 thousand tonne lifting capacity

which is capable of hauling out vesselsup to 350 meters long. On the otherhand, shipyard with dry-dock facilitiesnumber 7. Although there are 22

more dry-docks under construction at16 different yards are due to the crisis,many of them have been suspended.Largest dry-dock in the country is the

naval drydock at Pendik NavalShipyard, capable of admitting vesselsup to 170.000 dwt and 300 meterslong while private yards to date canreach 120.000 dwt.

Beşiktaş puts Eur 10 mln on dock investmentYalova situated Beşiktaş Shipyard

is among those who spare no expensesto press ahead for repair business.Although the yard is one of the fewyards to pouch plenty of orders

Turkish yards veer backon repair courseTurkish shipyards return to maintenance and repair activities amid slack newbuilding demand andditched orders. As some yards have individually reached over 170.000 dwt docking capacities, Turkeynow looks set to become European repair hub.

Not only locals are interested in shipyard investments in Turkey. As Tur-kish Marine Post reported on the previous issue, German DIC Group is cur-rently occupied with building a repair yard with 350 meter waterfront upon120.000 square-meters of land. The project, namely “Bosphorus Shipyard” isaimed at maintaining panamax and larger vessels. German group has also un-dertaken a similar project in Gallipoli, Dardanelles, which is reportedly 75 per-cent complete. The 400 million Euro worth shipyard is planned to carry out12 maintenance tasks simultaneously. Builders Dalsan Group reportedly pro-mised to hand over the facilities within 2012.

Turkish shipyards are well positioned on a transition rou-te similar to that of China, Singapore and UAE, thus reapingbenefits from Turkish straits that nearly let through over50.000 vessels annually. As the Black Sea economies deve-lop and vessel traffic increases yards are likely to see more shipsdrop by. On the other hand, quality of local suppliers have al-so been improving to meet more IACS requirements, makingit cheaper to replace onboard equipment.

Straits give Tuzla the edge

IIn fact, “coincidentally” involved inboat building business by honoring afriend’s pilot boat request in 2008,Loça appears to have invested

remarkably into the field, thus earningitself a name among Turkish small craftbuilders. A Swiss buyer’s order of 7workboats worth 9 million dollars is likelyto be a milestone for the company. Loçanow aims for becoming a brand in thefield, but is likely to venture forth to startan air conditioning partnership withKoreans.

Loça is a marine engineering firmwhose mainstay has always beenoutsourced projects such as blockbuilding, hatch covers, deck machineryand equipment, Loça’s Managing PartnerMr. Hidayet Çetin told Turkish MarinePost. They can cut, bend and weld almost9.000 tonnes of steel into blocks or hatch

covers in their two facilities built uponmore than 12.000 square meters. “We arenow putting more emphasis on researchand development for more added valueproduction as crisis inevitably hitequipment manufacturers as hard asTuzla” he said.

Aggressive pricing lures hefty orderLoça was persuaded into building a

pilot boat for a friend, who could not findan available shipyard to undertake theproject, as the chemical tankers weregiven the priority just prior to the crisisthat swept the orderbooks. “That singleboat has attracted 5 more orders for twoTurkish entities” conveyed Mr. Çetin,“which has led to the recent 9 millionUSD Swiss order of 7 workboats on turn-key basis”. Loça will deliver all 7 of the

boats, which are capable of taking in 30personnel and 2,5 tonnes of cargo, withinthe year. The company plans to make aproud showcase of their boats of owndesign in a number of internationalexhibitions and market their brand. Mr.Çetin opined that the demand for suchboats is promising. “There are manybuilders in Australia, Singapore and ofcourse Europe but our production is atleast 30 percent cheaper than them. Weare not in a rush to sell, but intend tobuild up brand equity as well as know-how.” he emphasized.

A/C branch to slash service costs Another prospective business on

Loça’s radar is creating a local servicebranch in cooperation with a SouthKorean marine air conditioning company.Mr. Çetin said they hoped to “fill a gap in

Turkey”. He also mentioned thecommented on Far Eastern trend and said“Far East has recently started rising and isset to become a hub for such production.The company we are cooperating isactually maker of such equipment whocan lend us the equipment and valuableknow-how”. Mr. Çetin indicated that FarEastern components could be veryexpensive to service and maintain forvessels operation here due to longdistances and their branch could helpreduce costs up to one-thirds.

Loça bags workboat septetMarine equipment maker Loça Engineering revealed that it wascommissioned to build 7 workboats for Swiss buyers last week. Thecompany apparently still has room for projects as it is tipped to ink a contract with a South Korean air conditioning to set up a local branch.

VBG Holdings’ board member incharge of shipbuilding Mr. MusabGeylani Kadayıfçıoğlu, revealed plansto acquire a floating dock with 170 x40 meter dimensions, which is largeenough to easily accomodate ahandysize. Meanwhile the yard is, forthe time being, busy with yacht andship repairs as well as newbuildings.

Mr. Musab Geylani Kadayıfçıoğlu was born in 1985. After graduatingfrom Fatih College in 2003, he enrolled in Bilgi University which hecompleted in 2010. The delay was due to his long stay in the USA to improvehis language skills for a year and a half. He resumed Bilgi in 2005 andgraduated in the following 5 years. He was immediately given a chair atshipyard’s board along with his elder brothers to guide him, however he is not“new” in business as during high school he was involved in other enterprisesof the group. Mr. Kadayıfçıoğlu believes diversified business structureprovides additional financial comfort and that institutionalization is “a key todevelop marketing strategies”. He says, “Industry needs to realize thatdemand oriented production is the only viable option for competitiveness andto achieve that we have to take things on a more institutional level.Marketing, publicity and brand management as well as production planningcould only be handled this way.”

TLV’sPresident Professor Dr. Mustafa Insel,estimated that from now on at leasttwo years will pass until IACS cantake a final decision, however he isnot plaintive. “What genuinelymatters for us, rather than expeditingthe process, is to be duly certified viacorrect procedures, whereby ourquality of service and eligibility willmanifest themselves in IACS’sassessments” he said.

Shift in policy paves way for TLVIACS’s previous admission

procedure involved a hard to achievea total of 8 million gross tonne classtally which “tackled most candidatesfrom the very start”. The association’sapplication procedures were broughtbefore European Commission as abreach of competition rules during2008. Consequently IACS was urgedto introduce a new set of rulesgoverning membership that involveda more “qualitative” approach,principles of which should bedetermined by an independentsupervisory body. The new rules,introducing a dual stage membershipapplication process, wereimplemented on the 1st of January2011. These new criteria mandates

that the candidate should beindependent from owners, yards,suppliers or the governments; it shouldbe developing, publishing andresearching its own authentic rules inaddition to following unified rulesmutually developed by all IACSmembers; it should also supervise anddocument building stages as well asemploy sufficient number of surveyorsto inspect vessels at service.

İnsel says membership “could take much longer” According to Professor Dr. Insel,

the second stage calls for the candidateto be audited by an independentinstitution and be granted ISO 9000and other certifications. This entailsfurther teething problems as thereappears to be no organisations besidesother classification societies to carryout this task, in contrary to IACSrequirement that it should not be so. “Itcould be SGS, BSI or KEMA howeverthey so far have not been engaged inshipping related businesses.” he pointsout and adds that the membership thusshould not be expected in short term.Professor Dr. Insel also noted that it isnot seen as a problem in TLV’sperspective as long as “an adoptivesystematic is applied”

Slovakian cooperation ends up curtailedTurkish Lloyd 4 years ago set out to

become an EU recognised organisationin cooperation with Slovakia upon thecountry’s suggestion whichunexpectedly culminated in thesuspension of studies as the criteria forthe process demanded a MemberState’s endorsement, Professor Dr.Insel conveyed. “It is a frustration tosee the progress come to an abrupthalt, but we have nevertheless madequite a progress, which is evident asper Paris MoU performance lists” hesaid.

TLV’s activities span neighbouring countries consisting mainly of Syria aswell as other Middle Eastern and North African countries, however currentemphasis is apparently on military projects. Professor Insel foresees thatTurkish shipyards, “emboldened by the bright past chemical tanker successes,will repeat their glorious days with complicated projects”. According to him,next step should be studying dynamic positioning, deep sea equipment,underwater operation and off-shore technologies and focussing on RO-RO,small passenger vessels and ferry projects.

Chemical tanker success to inspire next generation projects


International Maritime Organisation(IMO) has been known to payparticular interest to noise levelsonboard vessels as researches indicate

that noise is not only a mere comfort issueand rather it poses a serious health risk forseafarers. Marinsu Insulation’s partnerthinks the organization will soon thightenits grip on the issue and extends the rules tocover ships in service.

Shipbuilding industry has seen theissue of onboard noise levels rise toimportance since early 2000’s. As IMOpresses new directives for noise reductiononboard, yards and owners face newdesign questions. Marinsu Insulation, aTuzla based engineering companyspecialized in heat, water and noiseinsulation, is among the companies thatstrive to keep up with IMO requirements.Managing Partner Mr. Cihat Turgut saidthat shipbuilders are trying to developand determine new ways to set noiselevels on board ships below allowedlimits yet “IMO still does not seem

convinced as it refers to onboard noisewhenever it sees fit”. He warns thatalthough the organization is going easywith ships already in service, it might bedue to the fact that existing shipowners’income would not permit suchexpenditure. “We can not assume it willbe all the same” he said.

IMO uncompromising on noise levelsMr. Cihat explains the nature of noise

reduction rules with two differentapproaches: preventing the impact of noiseto people outside the vessels, and moreimportantly minimizing its effects onseafarers onboard. “The best way todampen vibration sourced noise or theairborne noise is to insulate or control thenoise at the origin” he suggestedemphasizing the importance of choosingthe right machinery onboard. He explainedthat due to the different noise regulationsvarying per country, IMO set its ownstandards for vessels.

Marinsu warns on tight noiselevel regulations

MARINE EQUIPMENT

Marinsu began insulation applications in 2007 and introduced fullinsulation package systems to the industry. Company rapidly became awide range provider as its customer portfolio has since spanned marineas well as industrial oriented clientele. Marinsu is also involved in themilitary projects now in vague around Tuzla. “We provide engineeringservices on a consultancy basis rather than simply marketing a productline” Mr. Cihat Turgut explained and said that Marinsu’s solutionsinvolved “valuable know-how developed with experience earned in duecourse of services”. Marinsu also holds distribution contracts of somewell-known international brands, which apparently also helped build upa its client base.

Marinsu not a mere distributor

Istanbul Freight Index (ISTFIX)experts provided a market reportexclusively for Turkish MarinePort focusing on coastal traders

between 2.000 to 12.000 dwt capacityoperated across Mediterranean andBlack Sea. In this special report,ISTFIX compares last quarter of 2010with the first quarter of 2011 and setsan outlook for the coming months.

During the previous year, lowestdaily revenue for various coaster sizesranging from 2000 dwt general short-sea cargo carriers to 12.000 dwt mini-bulkers varied between 1.350 and4.250, while highest earnings hoveredaround 2.250 to 5.600 Usd per day.

2010 was in many ways a betteryear than 2009, especially as freightrates for the given scale improved 15percent. While European negativegrowth slowed down freight rateimprovement, West Africa and BlackSea tonnage demand offset the effectsof Europe. Istanbul Composite FreightIndex took off from 700 levels to low800’s during seasonally high shippingperiod: the March-June term.

The year ended more or less in abalance, except for the bad harvest inRussia and following ban on exports,which until now has effectivelyreduced stable wheat cargo supply toBlack Sea shipping. This was yet againpartially offset with coal shipments,driven by fears of a frigid wintercoming.

Lagging demand in Europe forcedContinent and Baltic operated ships toencroach Mediterranean marketwhere they had the age and

specification edge over the relativelyolder fleet.

Owners and operators werehoping for the signals of a subtlerecovery which was to a large extentpinned to a possible lifting of wheatexport bans and quotas pressed byRussia and Ukraine. They were alsoupbeat on steel shipments that hadbegun picking up during the lastmonths of 2010, which would alsotrigger scrap shipments on thebackground.

Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Turkey andSyria were expected to further grow,dragging along a remarkable foreigntrade potential which would ideallybe handled via smaller tonnagevessels. To sum up, nativeMediterranean and Black Seatonnage, faced many challengesduring 2010 however had modestexpectations for the coming year...butthe worst scenario had yet to bestaged. In a brief month, Arabianworld was embroiled in deep politicalupheaval starting from Egypt andrapidly spreading among other Arabstates. The result was a seriousdownturn affecting North African andMiddle Eastern bound cargomovements. A significant amount ofcargo vanished from the marketleaving ships and owners in panic.

Turmoil also strained oil markets.Prices increased by 18 percent sincethe beginning of February, with theBrent easily surpassing 100 USD perbarrel levels. Cost of bunkers almostimmediately responded withequivalent price hikes, further

exacerbating the situtaiton for alreadytroubled owners.

Istanbul Composite Freight Indextook a plunge from 678 point levels to580, a 15 percent fall that took awaythe gains of the previous year.

Asset prices were also subject tosignificant drops. Younger vessels saw10 to 20 percent value drops whilstolder vessels lost almost 30 or astaggering 40 percent in value.Although higher scrap prices areexpected to accelerate disposals, someexperts claim that all vessels built before1980 should be de-commissioned oneway or the other, before others couldheave a sigh of relief.

OutlookOwners and brokers eye Russia

and Ukraines’s comeback to wheatmarkets, which is not a very remotepossibility as both countries

continuously post encouraging cropdata. Russia’s spring sowing, whichhas only recently commenced hinted agood harvest and raised hopes for thenext one. If Russian agriculturalbodies are convinced that analtogether 85 million tonnes of grainharvest is possible, Black Sea will beback in wheat shipment business.

Intra-mediterranean wheatmovements are also correlated withNorth African demand, which shouldresume once peace and order isrestored throughout the region. Samegoes for steel, cement and otherconstruction related material, whichwill be much sought after especially inthe heavily ravaged Libya.

Once the global confidence in theregions political stability is reinstated,oil prices should see declines whichshould be followed by bunker pricedrops.
