Diego Aponte, the young boss of MSC, one of the world’s leading container shipping companies, will come to Turkey to participate in the 29 October celebrations and at the same time, the ship that gave the name “Turkey” to one of the world’s largest container ships will be held at Tekirdağ Asyaport on 30 October. It was learned that he will attend the “First Call” ceremony.
First in the world container market
MSC ranks first in the container shipping industry with a market share of 19 percent, with 781 container ships worldwide. MSC, a family-owned company based in Switzerland, has more than 150,000 employees worldwide. The company has a global logistics network, operating through more than 70 sea ports, railways and airlines.
The world’s largest ship was named “Türkiye”
In addition to its agency activities in Turkey, MSC also has subsidiaries in Marport and Assanport ports. The company’s activities are further strengthened with the Asyaport Port located in Tekirdağ. Asyaport will host the first call of the giant ship, which is 400 meters long and has a capacity of 24,346 TEU, and will be named “Turkey”. In addition to Diego Aponte, Turkey’s leading business world representatives, government officials and maritime industry professionals will also attend this important event. The ceremony has great importance as an indicator of the cooperation between Turkey and MSC and the importance of Turkey in the logistics sector.
MSC trusts Turkey’s logistics potential
Together with Medlog, which operates among MSC’s subsidiaries in Turkey, it is estimated that the company’s employment in Turkey has reached 5 thousand people. While MSC’s presence in Turkey makes a significant contribution to the country’s logistics sector, it also strengthens Turkey’s position in global trade. Diego Aponte’s coming to Turkey emphasizes MSC’s confidence in Turkey and Turkey’s potential in the logistics sector. This major event is considered as a step that will contribute to Turkey’s growth and development goals in the maritime field and enable the country to become even more prominent in the logistics sector.
