AN ANALYSIS OF SEABORNE TRADE THROUGH ISKENDERUN BAY
Öz
Increasing trade volume and globalisation of supply chains have increased the importance of ports
in international trade. Due to these developments, ports need to analyse the commodities in their hinterland to
be able to meet their customer requirements. Iskenderun Bay, which is
considered as a gateway to the Mediterranean
Sea, has sufficient infrastructure to serve several
commodity groups. The share of the total cargo handling of Iskenderun Bay is
9.34 % in Turkey. This study aims to analyze the frequency distributions of shipments,
to determine the prominent cargo groups as well as exporting/importing regions
of the ports located in Iskenderun Bay. The total amount of import-export cargoes and cargo groups have been analysed by
the loading/discharging tonnages of the vessels, exporting/importing regions
and the handling ports in Iskenderun. Calculation of the total amount of cargo on ton basis
and shipment frequency has been found by using RStudio software to determine
prominent cargo groups and main export/import
regions. Assan Port, Yazıcı Port, Isdemir Port, MMK Metalurji Port, Orhan
Ekinci Pier, Limak Port, Gübretaş Port, Sasa Terminal, and Petrol Ofisi Pier
Port have been selected for the analysis.
