Turkish shipyard industry is among largest shipyard industries in the world. However I found it in a very unknown state at this forum. Firstly lets to have a look at a 2011 report of OECD Council
The industry has quality certified shipyards that can build ships, yachts, mega-yachts, and sailing boats.
Turkey’s shipyards are mainly located in the Marmara Region, namely Tuzla, Yalova, and İzmit, which have developed into dynamic shipbuilding centres. Also, in recent years the emerging Black Sea and Mediterranean Regions have increasingly attracted shipyard investments.
According to order books, this resulted in Turkey being regularly placed in the top ten countries on the basis of its deadweight (dwt) production, and in the top five countries by the number of ships.
In recent years Turkey has increasingly tapped into niche markets, which in turn has led to a growing participation by Turkish shipyards in the international trade in new ships. In parallel, there has also been strong growth in the marine equipment manufacturing sector, which could increasingly also tap the export market. These developments reflect in part the strategic location of the yards, the experienced workforce, the quality of production and Turkey’s significant role as a political, cultural and economic bridge between Europe and Central Asian and Middle Eastern economies.
