Sea freight offers the lowest unit cost for high-volume, long-distance cargo. At Wislog Lojistik, we ship your export cargo from Türkiye to ports across the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Gulf and the Far East, and bring your import cargo from the Far East and Europe into Türkiye through our reliable shipping line and agency connections.
Our operations centre in Gebze is a short distance from Marmara ports such as Yılport Gebze, Evyap, Diliskelesi and Ambarlı. We also use the ports of Mersin and Izmir (Aliağa) to plan the best sailing and transit time for your cargo. Container delivery at the loading point, port entry procedures, bill of lading (B/L) processes, discharge at the port of destination and door delivery are all followed by a single dedicated operations contact.
For IMDG-regulated cargo such as chemical raw materials and aerosols, we handle the dangerous goods declaration, container labelling and shipping line approval processes; for machinery and project cargo, we take care of sourcing open top and flat rack equipment and planning the lashing.

Cargo types we handle
Frequently asked questions
Which container types are used in sea freight?
The most common types are 20’ DC, 40’ DC and 40’ HC dry containers. Open top containers are preferred for cargo that needs to be loaded from above, and flat rack containers for out-of-gauge and heavy cargo.
What is the sea freight transit time from the Far East to Türkiye?
The estimated door-to-door time from Chinese ports to Türkiye is generally 30–45 days, depending on transhipment ports and the sailing schedule.
What is a bill of lading (B/L)?
The bill of lading is the key sea freight transport document: it confirms that the carrier has received the cargo, evidences the contract of carriage and, in most cases, represents title to the goods.
