Defterdar Burnu is a headland on the Bosphorus rather than a working cargo port, sitting on the European shore near Ortaköy and the first Bosphorus bridge in central Istanbul. Port directories list it as a very small natural harbour with deep anchorage (over 23 m) and a pier of roughly 7 to 9 m for vessels up to about 150 m. In such a built-up urban setting, and amid the strait's strong currents, it serves as an anchorage point more than a commercial berth, so its freight relevance is limited. For containers and general cargo in the Istanbul area, Ambarlı to the west and the wider Marmara ports are the practical choices.
