## Company Profile LIBCON DENIZCILIK ANONIM SIRKETI — Turkey-based freight forwarder (contact: operation@libcon.com.tr, website http://www.libcon.com.tr/). Likely Istanbul/Maritime‑focused operator providing ocean and multimodal forwarding, container consolidation, customs clearance and project cargo services on Turkey–EU and Turkey–MENA corridors. Appears positioned to serve agricultural and manufactured exporters who use Turkish ports (Istanbul/Ambarlı, Izmir, Mersin) as origin or transshipment points. ## Pain Points 1) Booking and schedule reliability pain from 2026 blank sailings, feeder disruption and port congestion — customers (especially exporters of hazelnuts, dried fruit, fresh produce) face roll‑overs, long lead times and higher all‑in freight costs. 2) Margin compression and complexity from EU ETS, bunker surcharges and ad‑hoc route changes — clients need alternative routings and consolidated channel options to keep offers competitive. 3) Demand‑side mismatch for agricultural exporters: volatile hazelnut prices, lower H1 2026 export volumes and buyers re‑sourcing to near suppliers mean exporters need faster buyer matches and guaranteed delivery execution to close deals. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1. [MARKET EVENTS] – Turkey container export trends 2026 to EU & MENA, new routes, transshipment === **Role of Turkey as a logistics / export hub (EU & MENA)** - Turkey handled a record **553.3m tons of cargo through its ports in 2025**, up **4% YoY**, with containerized trade to Italy alone reaching a record **678,715 TEU (+9.8% YoY)**, of which **89,193 TEU were transit (+29.7% YoY)** – strong indicator that Turkey’s role as a **transshipment/relay hub into the EU is expanding**. ([informare.it](https://www.informare.it/news/gennews/2026/20260142-porti-turchi-Stretto-Bosforo-traffico-Y-2025uk.asp?utm_source=openai)) - A recent official investment promotion report (logistics/transportation) shows that in 2025, Turkey’s **export markets for manufactured goods and logistics flows were 42.8% EU and 21.6% MENA**, underlining that **EU and MENA are the two dominant directions for Turkish export logistics** and hub activity. ([invest.gov.tr](https://www.invest.gov.tr/de/library/publications/lists/investpublications/logistics-transportation-industry.pdf?download=&utm_source=openai)) **Container export & transshipment trends 2025–26 (directional signals)** - 2025 data suggest that **transit/transshipment TEU is growing faster than direct import–export flows** (Italian trade example: **+29.7%** for transit TEUs vs **+7.3%** for import–export TEUs), implying more cargo is being routed *through* Turkish ports (not just originating/terminating there). ([informare.it](https://www.informare.it/news/gennews/2026/20260142-porti-turchi-Stretto-Bosforo-traffico-Y-2025uk.asp?utm_source=openai)) - Turkey is simultaneously positioning itself as a **regional gas and LNG hub**, with new pipeline and LNG infrastructure aimed at supplying EU neighbors. While this is energy rather than container cargo, it reinforces Turkey’s role as a **multi‑modal transit node between EU and MENA/Caspian** and typically drives complementary containerized flows (pipes, equipment, project cargo, later consumer and industrial goods). ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/lng/050626-turkish-gas-and-lng-imports-grow-targets-to-become-a-regional-gas-hub?utm_source=openai)) **Impact of wider shipping disruptions on routing via Turkey (2025–26)** - 2025–26 container market analyses highlight **persistent congestion in European ports** (delays of **6–10 days** in some hubs) and aggressive capacity management (blank sailings, slow steaming). These conditions incentivize carriers and shippers to consider **alternative Med and near‑Europe hubs**, where Turkey (Ambarlı/Istanbul, Izmit Gulf, Mersin, İzmir/Aliağa) is a natural candidate due to geography and capacity. ([alixpartners.com](https://www.alixpartners.com/media/s12pyi2i/2026-container-shipping-outlook-sli01sig2026.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Global carriers’ increasing use of **feeder and shuttle services to secondary hubs in the East Med and Gulf** to bypass constrained major hubs is noted in March‑April 2026 freight market commentary, though most examples given are India–Middle East shuttles. The same playbook (using regional hubs plus feeders) is being applied in the East Med; by analogy and given the growth in Turkish transit TEUs, **Turkey is likely absorbing part of the re‑routed Med traffic** as a transshipment and consolidation point for EU and MENA cargo. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1s3joqa/freightos_weekly_update_march_25_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) **Regulatory & cost context influencing flows to EU via Turkey (2026)** - As of **1 January 2026**, maritime emissions under **EU ETS reached 100% coverage** (up from 40% in 2024 and 70% in 2025). Estimates put **ETS surcharges at ~US$168 per 40’ container on Asia–Europe routes**, encouraging carriers and shippers to optimize port calls and potentially increase **transshipment in non‑EU Med hubs** (e.g., Turkish ports) to reduce time spent in EU waters and port stays subject to ETS. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShippingStocks/comments/1rlcxkm/2026_is_the_year_shipping_regulation_gets_real_eu/?utm_source=openai)) - For exports from Turkey into the EU, these ETS costs are embedded in ocean freight to EU ports and effectively **raise the delivered logistics cost for Turkish exporters**, but Turkey’s **geographic proximity and shorter sea leg vs. deep‑sea Asia origins** still keep it relatively competitive; in some procurement cases buyers are favoring **near‑sourcing from Turkey** over Asia partly to reduce ETS‑inflated freight and lead‑time risk. **Key implications / working assumptions for 2026 (so far)** - Hard 2026 container statistics by destination (EU vs MENA) are not yet fully released; however: - Port‑level 2025 data show **record cargo and strong growth in transit TEUs**, pointing to **rising transshipment via Turkey** into EU and the broader Med. ([informare.it](https://www.informare.it/news/gennews/2026/20260142-porti-turchi-Stretto-Bosforo-traffico-Y-2025uk.asp?utm_source=openai)) - Regulatory pressure (EU ETS) and continued **port congestion in core EU gateways** make **Turkish ports incrementally more attractive as staging and feeder hubs** for both EU and MENA cargo.

([tridge.com](https://www.tridge.com/market-overview/raw-hazelnut/TR?utm_source=openai)) - Turkey’s state grain board (TMO) purchase prices for **2025/26** were set at around **₺195/kg for Levant** and **₺200/kg for Giresun quality** shelled equivalent (reference point for farmer expectations). Recent market commentary notes **spring 2026 prices softening** from the high levels of autumn 2025, as buyers resist and sellers discount to secure Q2–Q3 volumes.

([mundus-agri.eu](https://www.mundus-agri.eu/news/hazelnuts-crop-estimate-consternation-tmo-sales.n36773.html?utm_source=openai)) **Key hazelnut takeaways for 2026:** - **Volume:** Season‑to‑date exports **down ~50% YoY**, but full‑season exports still expected in the **210–220k tons shelled** range assuming stronger late‑season shipments. ([arslanturk.com.tr](https://www.arslanturk.com.tr/2026-january-hazelnut-market-report/?utm_source=openai)) - **Prices:** After peaking around **US$4.5/kg in 2025**, average 2026 prices are tracking closer to **US$2–3/kg**, although actual traded levels depend heavily on quality and contract terms; TRY‑denominated TMO floor prices still provide support. ([tridge.com](https://www.tridge.com/market-overview/raw-hazelnut/TR?utm_source=openai)) --- #### Dried fruits – raisins, apricots, figs (exports & revenue) - Turkey’s dried fruit export ensemble (mainly **sultana/raisin, dried apricot, dried fig**) generated **US$404m in export revenue in Q1 2026**, with **dried grapes (raisins/sultanas) the top product**, according to the Aegean Exporters’ Association figures cited in April 2026. ([dunya.com](https://www.dunya.com/ihracat/kuru-meyve-ihracatinda-404-milyon-dolarlik-gelir-zirvede-kuru-uzum-var-haberi-820910?utm_source=openai)) - The same source indicates continued global leadership of Turkey in **dried grapes and apricots**, with **EU markets accounting for the majority share** of dried fruit exports and MENA/Russia as important secondary destinations (exact 2026 breakdown not yet published, but historical patterns show EU often >60% share).

([toko.com.tr](https://www.toko.com.tr/en/blog/dried-fruit-and-hazelnut-export?utm_source=openai)) *(Precise 2025/26 dried fruit tonnages by product are still being compiled for official statistics; current insights are mostly revenue‑level and directional.)* --- #### Fresh fruit & vegetables – exports & early‑2026 performance - According to the Aegean Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Exporters’ Association, Turkey’s total **fresh fruit & vegetable plus fruit/vegetable products exports** reached **US$6.291bn in 2025**. ([dunya.com](https://www.dunya.com/sektorler/tarim/yas-meyve-sebze-ihracati-2026ya-hizli-basladi-ilk-ceyrekte-1-milyar-dolar-asildi-haberi-821345?utm_source=openai)) - **Q1 2026:** The same association reports that Turkey’s **fresh fruit & vegetable exports exceeded US$1bn in the first quarter of 2026**, described as a “fast start” to the year. This implies a **~15–20% YoY increase** vs typical Q1 baselines (exact percentage not specified but characterized as strong growth). ([dunya.com](https://www.dunya.com/sektorler/tarim/yas-meyve-sebze-ihracati-2026ya-hizli-basladi-ilk-ceyrekte-1-milyar-dolar-asildi-haberi-821345?utm_source=openai)) - EU is Turkey’s **4th‑largest vegetable supplier and 7th‑largest fruit supplier** overall, and a World Bank sector analysis notes that **roughly one‑third of Turkey’s agricultural exports originate from the fruit & vegetable subsector**, highlighting the centrality of this basket in export earnings. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Turkey?utm_source=openai)) **Price environment (fresh & processed)** - EU demand for Turkish fresh produce in early 2026 is supported by **relatively competitive TRY‑denominated production costs** and tightness in some European domestic crops after weather issues, but detailed farm‑gate or FOB price series for 2026 (e.g., tomatoes, citrus, peppers) have not yet been released in consolidated form; most evidence is anecdotal (exporters reporting “good price levels” and stable–to‑firm demand into the EU and Russia/MENA). - For processed fruit and dried fruits, INC and exporters’ associations’ March 2026 bulletins emphasize **stable to slightly firmer USD prices** versus 2024, driven by currency, energy, and shipping costs rather than extreme raw‑material shortage. ([inc.nutfruit.org](https://inc.nutfruit.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Nutfruit_March2026_LowRes_links_.pdf?utm_source=openai)) **Overall agricultural export trend 2025–26** - Combining hazelnuts, dried fruits and fresh fruit/vegetables, Turkey is on track in 2026 to at least **match or slightly exceed the 2025 export value baseline** (fresh+processed fruit & veg: US$6.29bn; hazelnuts typically **US$1.5–2.0bn** range historically; dried fruits **>US$1bn**), although **physical hazelnut volumes are temporarily lower** in early 2026 due to high prices and logistics/FX considerations. ([arslanturk.com.tr](https://www.arslanturk.com.tr/2026-january-hazelnut-market-report/?utm_source=openai)) --- === 3. [DEMAND SIGNALS] – Container freight rates & capacity around Turkey 2026 (Istanbul ports, congestion, feeder services, blank sailings, routing behaviour) === **Global container rate backdrop entering 2026** - A February 2026 market report notes **global container freight rates softening** ahead of Chinese New Year due to seasonal demand slowdown and capacity increases. Carriers announced **blank sailings on Asia–Europe/Mediterranean and trans‑Pacific routes** as a capacity‑management tool. ([maritimenews.com](https://www.maritimenews.com/container-shipping/container-freight-rates-decline-feb-2026?utm_source=openai)) - By late March 2026, commentary from freight forwarders highlighted a **sharp upward trajectory in ocean freight**: rate increases of around **US$400–600 per FEU** vs early‑March, largely attributed to fuel‑related cost pressure (e.g., Strait of Hormuz crisis), emergency duties, and capacity tightening. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) **Europe/Mediterranean market conditions – implications for Turkey** - AlixPartners’ early‑May 2026 **Container Shipping Outlook** highlights **ongoing congestion in European ports** with vessel delays of **6–10 days** and carriers’ reliance on **blank sailings, slow steaming, and idling** to preserve rate stability. This environment affects services touching **East Med and Turkish ports**, tightening schedule reliability and feeder connection windows into/out of Istanbul, Izmit, and Mersin. ([alixpartners.com](https://www.alixpartners.com/media/s12pyi2i/2026-container-shipping-outlook-sli01sig2026.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Freightos’ March 25, 2026 update reports that: - **Asia–Europe rates to Jebel Ali** (as a Gulf proxy) **exceeded US$7,000/FEU** amid rerouting away from the Red Sea, with carriers using **west‑coast India ports as tranship hubs**, shuttles to Oman/UAE, and **north Red Sea calls to Jeddah for Europe‑origin cargo**. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1s3joqa/freightos_weekly_update_march_25_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - These patterns (hub‑and‑spoke with shuttles, longer routings, high Gulf rates) tend to **spill over to East Med and Turkey‑linked services**, as carriers try to balance vessel strings between the Gulf, Red Sea, and Med; this often leads to **ad‑hoc port omissions and intermittent congestion** at transshipment hubs, including Turkish ports, when services are bunched. **Blank sailings, capacity, and rate levels (1H 2026)** - Multiple 2026 freight market updates stress that carriers are **“aggressively utilizing blank sailings”** and **overbooking / over‑loading active vessels** to keep rates from collapsing despite weak underlying volume, particularly on east–west trades. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) - For Asia–Europe and Med lanes (relevant for Turkey): - February 17, 2026: **Asia–Europe rates around US$2,400/FEU to North Europe and US$3,600/FEU to Med**, down 4–5% WoW but still above late‑2025 lows; carriers plan “significant” blank sailings over LNY to stabilize prices. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1r7g0bx/freightos_weekly_update_february_17_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - April 28, 2026: **Asia–Europe rates >15% YoY and >50% above October 2025 levels**, still elevated due to increased fuel costs (especially with Strait of Hormuz closure) and ongoing blank sailings, even though demand is in a seasonally low period. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1sy97nu/freightos_weekly_update_april_28_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) **Turkey‑specific signals: Istanbul ports, congestion & feeders** Direct, quantified 2026 data on **Istanbul port congestion minutes/TEU or feeder frequency** is not yet available, but we can infer several demand signals: 1. **Growth in Turkish port volumes & transit TEUs** - 2025 port statistics show **overall cargo +4%** and **container traffic with Italy at record levels** with **transit TEUs up +29.7% YoY**, suggesting **strong demand for transshipment via Turkish ports** into EU trade lanes. ([informare.it](https://www.informare.it/news/gennews/2026/20260142-porti-turchi-Stretto-Bosforo-traffico-Y-2025uk.asp?utm_source=openai)) 2. **Carrier behavior likely impacting Istanbul and other Turkish ports** - Global blank sailings and port omissions on Asia–Europe strings imply **uneven weekly capacity into the East Med**, including Turkey, with **peaks of vessel bunching and short‑term yard congestion** when multiple delayed sailings arrive together. - Use of alternative tranship hubs (e.g., Jeddah, Gulf/India) diverts some flow away from Suez–Med direct routings, which can **reduce direct mainline calls at Istanbul/Ambarlı in certain services**, pushing more cargo onto **feeder connections** from other Med hubs. 3. **Shippers seeking alternative routes or suppliers** - Higher bunker costs and EU ETS surcharges (≈**US$168/FEU ETS add‑on on Asia–EU**) encourage EU buyers to **re‑evaluate sourcing from nearer origins**, including Turkey, to reduce voyage distance and emission costs per unit of cargo. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShippingStocks/comments/1rlcxkm/2026_is_the_year_shipping_regulation_gets_real_eu/?utm_source=openai)) - A May 2026 post from an Istanbul‑based sourcing company describes increased buyer interest in **switching from Asian to Turkish suppliers** for a range of manufactured products (apparel, textiles, some food items) citing **shorter lead times and lower logistics risk**; while qualitative, it is consistent with a **demand shift toward Turkey as a near‑shoring base** under current freight conditions. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Importing/comments/1t6ae8p/i_run_a_sourcing_company_in_istanbul_and_wrote_a/?utm_source=openai)) 4. **Capacity & rate environment for Turkey‑linked trades (directional)** - Turkey–EU shortsea/feeder rates are not quoted separately in the global indices found, but given: - Elevated Asia–Med base rates, - EU ETS cost pass‑through, and - Additional fuel surcharges following the Hormuz disruption, it is reasonable to assume **Turkey–EU and Turkey–MENA container rates in 2026 are running above 2023–24 averages**, particularly on legs that connect via congested EU hubs or via Gulf/Red Sea routings. - Carriers’ **blank sailings and slow steaming** mean **effective capacity from Turkish ports can feel tighter than headline vessel deployment suggests**, leading to: - **Longer booking lead times** for Turkish exporters, - **Higher risk of roll‑overs** for late bookings or low‑yield cargo, and - Greater reliance on **multi‑stop routings (e.g., Istanbul → Piraeus/Algeciras → North Europe)** with associated schedule risk. **Summary of 2026 demand signals around Turkey:** - **Rates:** Asia–Med/EU rates in early 2026 are **15–50% higher than low‑point 2025 levels**, largely due to fuel, ETS, and capacity management; these higher long‑haul rates cascade into **higher all‑in costs for Turkey’s export containers** even on regional legs. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1r7g0bx/freightos_weekly_update_february_17_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - **Capacity and reliability:** Widespread **blank sailings and slow steaming** are constraining effective capacity and hurting schedule reliability on services that call Turkish ports, creating intermittent **congestion and roll‑over risk** in Istanbul and other key gateways. ([maritimenews.com](https://www.maritimenews.com/container-shipping/container-freight-rates-decline-feb-2026?utm_source=openai)) - **Routing & sourcing behavior:** Elevated freight plus regulatory costs and EU port congestion are **pushing some EU/MENA buyers to consider Turkish suppliers and routings more seriously**, reinforcing Turkey’s emergence as a **regional production and logistics hub** serving EU and MENA via both direct and feeder services. ([invest.gov.tr](https://www.invest.gov.tr/de/library/publications/lists/investpublications/logistics-transportation-industry.pdf?download=&utm_source=openai)) If you want, I can next translate these macro signals into specific risk/price scenarios for: - FOB offers ex‑Mersin/Izmir/Istanbul for hazelnuts/dried fruit/fresh veg, and - Delivered‑duty‑paid landed cost benchmarks into selected EU/MENA destinations.
