Why Tuzla Remains Turkey’s Maritime Engineering Powerhouse

Tuzla, located on the Asian side of Istanbul, has earned its reputation as Turkey’s heart of maritime engineering and shipbuilding. With its dense concentration of shipyards, workshops, and technical suppliers, Tuzla supports not just national fleets but international operations as well.

Since the 1980s, Tuzla’s strategic location and industrial zoning have made it a magnet for marine innovation. From fishing vessels to oil tankers, thousands of ships have been built, repaired, or retrofitted here. It’s also home to Turkey’s largest cluster of marine engineers, welders, and fitters.
