Transportation and Logistics in Turkey
Turkey lies between Europe and Asia serving as a bridge geographically, culturally and economically.
In Turkey, investments in the transportation system are concentrated on land transportation infrastructure and the country has developed one of the largest land transportation fleets in Europe. The network of highways has been developed significantly and the highway length has reached 64,033 km, of which 2,010 km are motorways. At present 95 % of passengers and 90 % of goods are conveyed by highway transport.
Turkey has a competitive advantage in maritime transport since it is surrounded by seas on three sides with the Mediterranean, the Aegean, and the Black Sea, together with the straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. The length of Turkey's coastal borders is 8,333 km.
Maritime transportation is the most preferred method of transportation both in Turkey's exports and imports, with respective shares of 46.0 percent and 59.1 percent in total. This is followed by road transportation, with a share of 41.7 % of exports and 23.6 percent of imports between January and November 2009. Air transportation comes third for both exports and imports.
