About the Türkiye Flag

Registry Authority

The Turkish flag is administered by the Directorate General of Maritime Affairs (DGMA) under the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. Turkey operates a primary national registry plus the Turkish International Ship Register (TUGS), a parallel register offering tax relief for ships in international trade.

Why Ships Register in Turkey

TUGS-registered ships are exempt from Turkish corporate income tax, income tax, and other levies on shipping earnings, and may employ non-Turkish crew. Combined with Turkey's strategic location at the Bosporus and Dardanelles and its role as a major shipbuilder of small and mid-size tonnage, the flag is well-suited to Black Sea, Mediterranean, and short-sea operators.

Notable Operators

Geden Lines, YDC Holding, Beşiktaş Shipping Group, Ulusoy Group, Kıran Holding, and many smaller family-owned bulker, tanker, and ro-ro operators flag tonnage in Turkey. Turkish ro-ro operators are dominant in Mediterranean trailer and project-cargo trades.

Trade Routes

Turkish-flagged ships dominate Black Sea–Mediterranean grain, steel, and project-cargo trades, Mediterranean ro-ro trades between Turkey, Italy, France, and North Africa, and chemical-tanker services serving Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean petrochemical complexes.
