DP World runs Yarımca's container terminal in İzmit Bay, a 46-hectare facility that opened in 2016 and ranks among Türkiye's four busiest box ports. The quays mainly clear the containerised output of the surrounding industrial belt, including Ford Otosan and Hyundai Assan vehicles and goods from the Petkim-Tüpraş chemical cluster; together with nearby Derince the two terminals moved roughly 2.4 million TEU in 2024. Alongside the container berths, the adjacent TÜPRAŞ İzmit refinery handles crude and feeds liquid-bulk tanker traffic. A deepening project completed in late 2024 lifted draft to about 16.5 m, giving Neo-Panamax capability. Inland links run via the Anatolian motorway network and a rail connection, with Istanbul around 100 km away. As a Turkish customs gateway, Yarımca suits container, reefer and project cargo tied to manufacturing exports. Shippers seeking alternatives can look to Ambarlı near Istanbul or Gemport at Gemlik.
