Our History

From 1978 to 1995 Arkas Shipping and Transport S.A., one of the Arkas' Transportation companies, served as the Turkish partner for Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). In response to MSC's expanding transportation services network all around the world and in Turkey, the MSC Shipping Agency was established in May 1995 as a partnership with Arkas with a distinct and autonomous structure.

MSC provides direct and indirect services from four main marine transportation hubs in Turkey, Istanbul (Marport and Yılport), Izmir, Mersin, Bursa (Gemport and Borusan) and Antalya. Services are also offered in Trabzon by sub-agent.
