Waves of Opportunity: Empowering Women in Maritime

In 2002, our company opened its doors to female employees in the maritime sector. In 2021, we signed the 'Equal Opportunity Collaboration Protocol for Female Students in Maritime Departments.'Thanks to this initiative, at least 10% of our interns each year are female students. We are firmly committed to promoting equal opportunity in the maritime industry. Because at Turkon Line, equality should ripple outward—boundless and inclusive, just like the sea.

Marathons for Social Contribution and Responsibility

Container City Project

Following the devastating earthquakes that deeply affected our country in February 2023, Turkon Line undertook a major project to fulfill its social responsibility. Humanitarian aid collected from abroad, including the United States and European countries, for earthquake victims was transported free of charge by Turkon Line. In cooperation with AFAD, the Turkon Container City Project was implemented in İskenderun, with a capacity of 600 beds. The containers were converted into living spaces for six people, providing a settlement area that met essential needs. Completed in just 18 days, the Container City began operation on March 1, offering safe shelter for earthquake victims for approximately eight months before being handed over to AFAD.
