Erdek on the Kapıdağ Peninsula is a beach resort and island-ferry port rather than a freight harbour. With a pier depth of only about 3.4 m, it runs car and passenger ferries to the Marmara islands – Avşa, Marmara and Paşalimani – plus local fishing, but offers no container handling, customs clearance or bulk traffic. The region's commercial cargo moves through nearby Bandırma, a large freight and ferry port about 20 minutes inland. For Erdek itself, freight relevance stays limited.
