About Istanbul (Ambarlı)
Ambarlı is the container complex west of Istanbul on the Sea of Marmara, serving Turkey's largest industrial and consumer region. It comprises several separately operated terminals sharing the same approach. Istanbul traffic makes the road leg from the terminal unpredictable, so door delivery windows are wider here than the sea transit alone suggests.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Istanbul (Ambarlı) — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 12–16 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Turkey lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
