About Izmir
Izmir serves the Aegean region and is the shortest Turkish crossing on the Northern European lane. It handles containers alongside general and bulk cargo and sits close to the agricultural and light-industrial hinterland of western Anatolia. For consignees in the Aegean it avoids the long road haul from Istanbul.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Izmir — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 11–15 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.
