Mersin Logistics and Haulage Services

Road Freight to Mersin

Mersin is one of Turkey's greatest maritime gateways and the Mediterranean's strategic logistics hub. Mersin International Port (MIP), with its capacity of millions of TEUs per year, is Turkey's busiest container port and the backbone of regional trade. From our İskenderun base, Çevikoğlu Lojistik operates daily services to Mersin, covering a wide range from port-linked container haulage and food exports to chemical industry and cold-chain logistics.

The İskenderun–Mersin route is approximately 180 kilometres via the E-91 Mediterranean Motorway. This short distance enables daily two-way operations between the two hubs. For full loads, your truck departs directly to Mersin; for partial shipments, our regular consolidation runs deliver the same day or the next day.

MIP Port and Free Zone Operations

Mersin International Port and Mersin Free Zone are the locations where Çevikoğlu Lojistik operates most frequently. We collect customs-cleared import loads from the port area and deliver them to address; we transport export loads from production sites to the port, completing the road-sea multimodal chain without interruption. We also manage shipments to and from warehouses and production facilities in the free zone, and handle Turkey-wide distribution from there. Container haulage (trailer/platform vehicle), port area access and timely crane appointment coordination all speed up our port operations.

Tarsus OIZ and Industrial Sites

Tarsus Organised Industrial Zone is one of Mersin's largest production hubs, concentrating textiles, automotive parts, plastics and packaging industries. We handle inbound raw material and semi-finished goods deliveries and outbound finished-goods movements from Tarsus OIZ factories within our daily run schedule. We also make regular distributions to the metropolitan OIZs and to independent industrial estates in districts such as Mezitli and Akdeniz.

Citrus, Fresh Produce and Cold Chain

The Mersin and Tarsus plains are one of Turkey's main production basins for citrus and fresh fruit and vegetables. During orange, lemon, tangerine and vegetable export seasons we expand our cold-chain capacity to provide continuous refrigerated transport from harvester to exporter to port. Our ATP-certified refrigerated vehicles, compliant with European standards, preserve shelf life and quality conditions. We deliver from İskenderun port to Mersin MIP, or directly to the export point, without breaking the cold chain.

Chemical and Industrial Haulage

Mersin is also one of Turkey's leading regions for petrochemicals and the chemical industry. The area around Mersin Oil Refinery, fertiliser plants and chemical facilities generates demand for specialised cargo transport. With our ADR-certified vehicles and trained drivers we safely transport chemical products classified as hazardous goods, fully complying with all legal requirements. The necessary permits and documentation are prepared in advance by our operations team.

Our Transport Modes and Process

On the Mersin corridor we offer full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, palletised shipments, cold-chain refrigerated transport, ADR dangerous-goods haulage and project cargo services. Your shipment is tracked by our vehicle monitoring system from the moment it departs until delivery. Our 24/7 operations team keeps you informed at departure, en route and at delivery. All shipments are covered by cargo insurance and documentation is prepared without exception.

Transit Times and Frequency

The approximately 180-kilometre distance between İskenderun and Mersin enables daily two-way operations. For full loads, your truck departs immediately and same-day delivery is achievable; for partial loads, our daily consolidation run targets next-day delivery at the latest. When we receive advance information for port-appointment deliveries and customs-hour-aligned planning, we organise the operation most efficiently. For urgent shipments, priority vehicle allocation minimises lead time.

Return Loads from Mersin

Mersin, alongside its import-heavy port traffic, also offers a strong outbound hub. We organise regular return runs from Mersin towards İskenderun, Adana, Gaziantep and Hatay, building an efficient two-way transport network. This structure provides an economical and uninterrupted solution for customers who both send loads to Mersin and need transport from Mersin towards the south and south-east.
