The Grand Hyatt Mumbai hosted an exclusive ceremony to formally launch Turkon Line’s India Service. The event, which was co-hosted with its local liner partner Poseidon Shipping Agencies Pvt Ltd, a division of the prestigious Abrao Group, drew together more than 250 distinguished guests, including officials from the Republic of Turkey’s Consulate General and Commercial Attaché in Mumbai, port and customs authorities, media representatives, and important logistics industry stakeholders.
Turkon Line hopes to create a robust logistics link between Turkey, India, and other countries with this calculated expansion. The new service, which operates under the Türkiye–Red Sea–India (TRI) route, serves as a crucial conduit between Turkon Line’s extensive network in the Americas, Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, and India’s expanding market.
Launched in February 2025, the TRI service is currently operating with four vessels and is expected to expand to five vessels by June 2025. The route offers the fastest transit time between Türkiye and India via the Suez Canal and Red Sea, calling at Nhava Sheva and Mundra ports in India, and includes rail connections to strategic inland destinations in northern India.
The new service also supports Turkon Line’s sustainability vision. In 2025, the company will add two newly built, multi-fuel vessels with a capacity of 4,000 TEU to its fleet. These eco-friendly, high-tech vessels, built at the group’s own Sedef Shipyard, will boost the company’s total capacity by over 50%.
The launch of the India Service marks a significant milestone in Turkon Line’s eastward expansion strategy as the company continues its growth on a global scale.
