Shipowner Expertise. Agency Excellence.

Cerrahgil’s Agency Division is grounded in real shipowning experience, giving us a practical understanding of vessel operations, port requirements and the expectations of shipowners, operators and charterers. We approach every port call with one principle in mind: treat every vessel as our own.

Direct Presence Across Türkiye’s Key Port Regions

Cerrahgil provides agency services through owned offices located across Türkiye’s key port regions, supported by directly employed agency personnel on Cerrahgil’s own payroll.

This structure enables closer operational control, faster local response, consistent reporting standards, and stronger coordination with port authorities, terminals, customs, and immigration bodies.

Unlike agency models that rely mainly on third-party local representation, Cerrahgil’s direct office presence allows shipowners, operators, and charterers to receive accountable, locally informed, and centrally coordinated service throughout Turkish ports and the Turkish Straits.

With over 50 years of presence across all major Turkish ports, our local teams deliver reliable, efficient and responsive agency services. Operating as both a carrier and an agent, we combine operational insight with on-the-ground expertise to ensure smooth port operations and proactive problem-solving.

We have extensive experience handling key commodities such as grains, pulses, steel, and fuel oil, and we act as a trusted representative for a wide range of marine suppliers and service providers in Türkiye.

Cerrahgil is more than an agent — we are your operational partner at every port.
