AD Ports Expands Its International Reach With New Türkiye Office

Noatum, an integral part of AD Ports Group and provider of integrated port operations, maritime, and logistics services, recently announced the opening of Noatum Maritime's new office in Türkiye. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for Noatum Maritime, aiming to broaden its influence across crucial regional markets, particularly by enhancing its maritime agency services within the Mediterranean region.

The launch of this office signifies a leap forward in the execution of AD Ports Group's international expansion strategy, aiming to reinforce its global presence and forge stronger connections with key markets and trade lanes that are already linked or have the potential to link with the UAE.

At the helm of the new Türkiye office is Ömür Kuyucuoglu, taking on the role of Country Manager for Noatum Maritime. Under his leadership, the office is set to focus on port and liner agency services, offering a wide array of maritime solutions to cater to the needs of shipowners, ship operators, charterers, and ship managers.

The establishment in Türkiye plans to capitalize on the local know-how and the synergistic potential within the AD Ports Group and Noatum's ecosystems. With operational bases in Istanbul and Izmir, the office intends to provide integrated services that cover every aspect of maritime operations.

This initiative is not Noatum's first foray into the Türkiye market. The company already operates Noatum Logistics - East Europe, Türkiye & CIS office located in Istanbul, which underscores its existing local and regional market presence and expertise.

Terry Gidlow, Chief Executive Officer of Noatum Maritime, shared his insights on the expansion, stating, "The establishment of our Türkiye office enables Noatum Maritime to expand its geographical reach, following our growth strategy and fostering deeper engagement with our existing clients. The office will seamlessly integrate into the broader Noatum ecosystem, aiming to deliver integrated maritime agency services better, faster, and more cost-efficiently, while also attracting new customers in the Türkiye and the East Mediterranean region. Ultimately, our aim is to serve the market as a Top-5 global maritime service provider."
