The importance of the “Middle Hallway” is growing
Arkas Logistics officials stated that as Arkas, they invested both in Turkey and abroad to become an important player in the “Middle Corridor” and explained the goals of the partnership with Duisport, Europe's largest intermodal logistics terminal operator. It was stated that with the Railport Terminal investment in Kocaeli Kartepe, it was aimed to develop multimodal logistics centers in Turkey and to expand the intermodal network between Europe and Asia.
The land port, located on an area of approximately 265 thousand square meters and in the center of the industry, will be a transfer terminal where the cargo can be unloaded and handled again. It will both feed the China-Turkey Silk Road line and serve the East Marmara ports.
In the first phase of the project, railway lines, container storage areas and a 5.000 square meter warehouse are being built for loading and unloading operations. Railport, which has an annual storage capacity of 100 thousand containers and 500 thousand tons of general cargo, will be an environmentally friendly investment with its railway connection.
