Besiktas Group started building ships in good cooperation with the well established Turkish shipyards in 2002. Besiktas Shipbuilding has been concentrated in building high valued and sophisticated ships.

In the last 7 years until 2009 we have successfully delivered 21 projects, mainly to North European Ship owners with whom we have been cooperating since the beginning of our activities.

The valuable benefit of the above activity is an important accumulation of experience and human resources. Having this strong support behind, Besiktas group has invested in the construction of Besiktas Shipyard.

In the new Besiktas Shipyard, the first steel cutting for four 4100 dwt ships took place in 2008. The capacity of the facility is building 6 ships up to 30.000 dwt per year. The first four 4100 dwt Imo II tankers were delivered in 2009.

Presently the yard has the following 14 newbuilding projects:

 4 x 3600 cbm semi ref. LPG carriers for Gas&Heat Co. Italy
10 x 7100 dwt sea river type tankers for Palmali Shipping Azerbaijan-Turkey
