Logistics Solutions Overview: Freight Forwarding and Chartering Services

Direct Answer

TurkFreight offers five core logistics solutions: vessel chartering, bulk and project cargo, container shipping, air freight, and multimodal rail logistics. These services support transit times of 1-5 days for air, 20-30 days for sea to USA, and 5-14 days for Europe/Black Sea/Mediterranean. We handle bulk commodities, machinery, and containers from Turkish hubs.

Vessel Chartering Services

Our vessel chartering covers time charters, voyage charters, and bareboat options for dry bulk and tankers. Handysize vessels (10,000-40,000 DWT) suit regional trades, while supramax (50,000-60,000 DWT) handle larger loads like grain. Rates are negotiated based on 2026 market conditions, with laycan flexibility.
