Making comments on the subject, O.

This vessel, which is defined as eco-ship and designed to consume less fuel and carry a larger amount of cargo, will be the first vessel built in Türkiye that operates with 5 types of fuel. We made this investment for the purpose of further increasing our customer-focused service quality. With the environmental policies that we have adopted since our establishment, we care for the use of natural resources and the prevention of pollution. Accordingly, we believe that our new vessels, being hundred percent environment-friendly, will be working in favor of sustainable development. May it bring luck to our company and our industry”.
