Ambarlı Container Depot: storage on the port corridor
At Ambarlı — Türkiye's busiest container gateway on Istanbul's European side — free time runs out fast and port demurrage grows faster. Our yard working the Ambarlı port corridor is the economical address for that wait.
// What the yard solves on the Ambarlı corridor
- Free-time pressure: a container leaving Marport, Kumport or Mardaş moves off-dock before the port daily rate starts running; the same waiting period costs clearly less.
- Empty turnaround yard: units falling empty after discharge wait stacked until the next load; block areas are reserved for line and forwarder fleets as an empty return point.
- Laden buffer: import cargo stuck in customs and export cargo waiting for its vessel are kept at ground level with documented seal records.
