Turty: Moktzini bfyanity and trading. Among such examples among the newbuild facilities clus- tered around Tuzla Bay is

Yardimci Shipping's yard, which has contributed in a prolific man- ner to fleet development since 1994. As is typical of the Turkish independent shipbuilding sector's gravitation towards vessels under 15,000-dwt, Yardimci's production is currently focused on container- moduled ships of around 7,800 to 8,800-dwt.

While the Turkish shipping industry steers the bulk of its fleet modernization and development requirements to the domestic ship- building industry, the Dunya group's investment in two 46,500- dwt products carriers from

Onomichi Dockyard provides a rare case of a private Turkish shipowner booking tonnage in

Japan. Both newbuilds were deliv-

Society Provides Valuable

Assistance To Turkish

Marine Engineers

The Chamber of Turkish Naval

Architects and Marine Engineers was founded in 1954 and is one of the oldest engineering societies in

Turkey. With head offices in

Istanbul and branches through- out the country, the society has over 1,400 members consisting of naval architects, marine engi- neers, ship technology and ship construction engineers. The chamber is a member of The

Union of Turkish Engineers and

Architects (TMMOB), and found- ed the national classification soci- ety Turk Loydu in 1962.

Activities of the chamber consist of regulation of the relations of the society members; preparation of the related rules and regula- tions for the profession as well as technical specifications for the newbuilding, modification and repair jobs of ships, yachts and all type of floating vessels; national and international rela- tions with regard to the safety and environmental protections aspects of the sea; relations with classification societies; and pro- viding consultancy, expertise and arbitration services inside and outside of Turkey. ered in 1998, and technical super- vision was handled through the

Suay Umut-headed group's

London company.

Judicious acquisitions on the sec- ondhand market for tankers and bulkers had hitherto underpinned fleet development strategy. As a further example of Turkish recourse to overseas shipbuilders, the adoption of Australian high- speed vessel technology is having a major impact on the ferry network in Istanbul waters and the Sea of

Marmara.

Istanbul Deniz Otobusleri (IDO) has increased its passenger-carry- ing capacity three-fold over the past four years through the addi- tion of eight twin-hulled ferries designed and built in Western

Australia by Austal Ships. The lat- est phase of investment was real- ized last month (December) through the entry into service of the 42-knot Turgut Ozal, the sec- ond of two 86-m vehicle-passenger catamarans of the Auto Express series.
