Why a shipbroker in Istanbul
A large share of the region's dry cargo moves through the Turkish Straits, and Turkish ports load and discharge steel, cement, clinker, grain and scrap in volume. A desk in Istanbul knows the terminals, the draft limits, the local agents and the ships trading the area, and can speak to Turkish charterers and owners in their own language.
