At OKT SHIPPING, we are dedicated to our customers’ success. We are committed to understanding the needs of our customers, and together with our partners, we are providing the solutions that assist our customers for building a better world.
Turkey is a unique geography with its historical and natural beauties. Because of its geographical location, the mainland of Anatolia has always found favour throughout history and is the birthplace of many great civilizations. It has also been prominent as a centre of commerce and trading routes due to its land connections to three continents and the sea surrounding it on three sides.
Therefore, Turkey is also an attractive destination for worldwide shipowners with its world class shipyards and other favours.
Operating a ship or shipping company is an expensive business with a need for constantly renewing itself as new rules and regulations are set. Intermediate and Special Surveys are required on even the best maintained vessels, causing significant cash flow challenges & lost earning days.
In an industry where reputation has real commercial value, proper yard, newbuilding and second-hand vessel selection adds value and enables businesses to protect stakeholders’ interests and gain competitive advantage.
We have a clear strategy to maintain and extend our industry leadership to be competitive in a time when prices, policy, rules, regulations, technology and customer preferences are changing, based on five key objectives:
Focusing and growing in specialist areas
