Yilport Holding has increased its total throughput in 2016 following a busy year with multiple investments.
The subsidiary of Turkey’s Yildirim Group reported a 5% year-on-year increase in container volumes, which stood at 3.93 million teu.
Yilport’s improved performance was led by its 10 box terminals in Turkey, Scandinavia, Iberia and Latin America.
Robert Yuksel Yildirim, chairman of Yilport, said: “The year of 2016 was one of the golden years for Yilport Holding in port industry.
“We heavily invested in state-of-the-art technology in superstructure and IT, achieving productivity and efficiency well over the industry average.
“We will embrace both organic and inorganic growth opportunities, advancing step-by-step to rank among the top 10 international terminal operators by 2025.”
Yilport made several investments in 2016 as it acquired stakes in terminals in Sweden, Ecuador, Portugal and Latin America.
