International transport and logistics provider cargo-partner has opened a new iLogistics Center with 20,000 m² of warehouse space in Istanbul, Türkiye.
The new facility is located close to the new Istanbul airport and the region’s main seaports, and connected to Europe via North Marmara Highway.
Moreover, the warehouse will have a total storage area of 20,000 m², including 5,850 m² of bonded warehouse space.
Additionally, the building contains modern office spaces, providing the new base of operations for cargo-partner’s head office in Türkiye.
The company’s strengths in Türkiye include temperature-controlled foodstuffs shipments as well as emergency services by air and road. In addition, to combat the recent driver shortages in Europe, the logistics provider is offering a growing number of short sea services as an alternative to trucking.
The company reported that the warehouse has a capacity of more than 20,000 pallet slots and has 17 loading docks for all vehicle types. Also, its modern design allows for efficient handling and storage of oversized goods, flexible multi-modal services and comprehensive high-tech logistics solutions.
Last but not least, part of the new warehouse is dedicated to fulfilment services, including a parcel pickup and return point.
“Istanbul is not just the heart of trade in Türkiye, but also a major hub for the entire surrounding region. This year we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye along with the 40th anniversary of cargo-partner and the fifth anniversary of cargo-partner in Türkiye – a perfect occasion to diversify our services and strengthen our position in the country,” commented Kürşad Tanrıverdi, managing director of cargo-partner Türkiye.
He added, “This new, intelligent logistics facility will enable us to provide a range of fulfillment services for online retailers and meet the requirements of current and future logistics challenges.”
