About Mersin
Mersin sits on Turkey's Mediterranean coast serving the Çukurova industrial region and acting as a feeder point for onward regional traffic. It is the natural gateway for southern and southeastern Turkey, where routing through Istanbul would add a very long inland leg. It also handles transit cargo bound for neighbouring countries.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Mersin — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 13–18 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.
