There has been a significant development in the global car market, with strong competition from all international companies. The Turkish market is one of the largest competitors in this market, so there has been a great deal of interest recently, especially with the significant increase in the number of individuals wishing to ship cars from Turkey to countries around the world, whether for trade, tourism, or returning home. In the following paragraphs, we will shed light on how to ship cars from Turkey in general.

Steps for shipping a car from Turkey:

Choosing a shipping company:

Choosing a shipping company that provides international car shipping services from Turkey to the world is one of the most important points before starting to ship your car. Faris Logistics is one of the shipping companies that efficiently and effectively performs this process. It has the ability to ship your car from Turkey to any country in the world, securing and delivering it to the customer's specified country at a competitive price.

Preparing the car documents:

As with all shipping processes, the documents and paperwork required for shipping the car must be prepared. Faris Logistics reviews all necessary documents through a team of experts who handle all the paperwork and customs procedures. These documents include:

• Customs clearance for the car from Turkey.
• Shipping insurance policy.
• Car documents (car license - car insurance).
• Client's identification documents (passport).
• Entry and exit sheet for the car.

Preparing the car for shipping:

The car is prepared for shipping, ensuring that a large quantity of fuel is not placed inside it and checking for any important belongings inside. Additionally, the car will be carefully inspected by company employees to ensure that there are no car-related issues before shipping.

Sea Shipping of Cars from Turkey:

Sea shipping is the most common and widely used method for shipping cars, where cars are gathered at ports and then loaded onto dedicated ships. There are three methods for loading cars onto ships:

Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) Shipping:

RORO shipping involves driving cars onto and off of large vessels. The cars are then secured and fastened onto the ship to prevent movement. This method is used to ship all types and sizes of cars in large quantities. RORO vessels are equipped with facilities that enable easy and fast loading and unloading of cars to and from the ship.

Containerized Shipping:

In this method, cars are loaded into steel containers of various sizes, typically 20 feet and 40 feet. Containers accommodate all types and quantities of cars needed to be shipped. Cars are securely tied inside the containers to prevent movement and avoid damage. Containerized shipping is a practical and safe method for shipping cars.

Special Container Shipping:

These containers are used to transport the client's car and are reserved exclusively for them. They are more expensive than standard containers. The client's car is securely placed inside the designated container. One advantage of these containers is that they allow the client to include personal belongings along with their car.

Cars are shipped by sea from anywhere in Turkey through four main ports:

• Haydarpaşa Port
• Ambarlı Port
• Izmir Port
• Mersin Port
