Why is it important for İzmir?
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality was looking for a place to connect İZDENİZ ships for a long time. Applications previously made to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure for the allocation of Bostanlı and İnciraltı fishermen shelters did not yield positive results, as the fishermen could not be accommodated. İZDENİZ ships cannot be repaired or maintained in İzmir since there is no mooring or shrinkage in the Gulf; He had to go to Istanbul every time. Especially in stormy weather, they cannot connect to the piers to avoid hitting each other; they were waiting openly. All of this created significant extra costs. There are still 15 catamarans, 4 ferries and a Bergama ferry in the İZDENİZ fleet. In addition, 5 Turyol boats serve for rent.
