We have made the necessary investments for our Ro-Ro transportation project. We plan to carry out truck transportation on the Gemlik, Bandırma, Mudanya and Derince lines. For this purpose, we are continuing the work of acquiring several Ro-Ro ships and organizing a field.”
TARGET SHIPYARD
Çebi, who said that they are interested in shipyard construction in the long term, expresses that they are considering making joint investments together with Japanese and Korean companies that have serious and many years of experience in the field of shipbuilding, maintenance and repair.
“Dependence on imports of raw materials is a big problem for Turkey, and unfortunately, we believe that this problem will continue in the future. For this reason, we want to put aside the scrap-based production method and produce in blast furnaces. Our goal is to build an iron and steel plant with a blast furnace. Although we know that it will be very difficult, we want to try it.”Captain speaking Çebi in the form of Live, they also have plans for growth in the energy industry to meet their own needs by saying that he continues: “due to the lack of rising natural gas prices, the thermal field in a little-used facility 2-2.We want you to commissioning within 5 years. For this, we will invest about $ 150-200 million in a 300-megawatt facility.”
THE FUTURE OF TURKISH SHIPPING 2007
yaşar Kaptan Çebi stated that the most striking development in the sector is the high number of new shipbuilding projects provided by Turkish shipowners both at Turkish shipbuilding shipyards and at Japanese, Korean and Chinese shipyards. When we ask what needs to be done to protect the future of Turkish shipping and this rapid increase in the sector, she replies: “Turkish shipping is moving at faster steps than hoped.Turkish shipowners invest their earnings in completely new purchases and growing their fleets. In particular, income and profits exempt from customs duties on the international register of ships go to completely new shipbuilding and second-hand new ships, and ships built on behalf of shipowners of Turkish origin, especially in the most serious shipyards of the Far East, are part of Turkish shipping
it determines its direction and speed.
The necessary efforts should be made for the development and growth of the merchant fleet. In order for our own shipyards to reach at least this level, it is necessary for the state to strengthen the laws encouraging existing or newly established new shipyards, as well as to speed up the legislation at the time of establishment, by selecting the target of the South Korean shipbuilding sector. When we look at it, it seems that Korean shipyards are 7 times larger compared to Turkey’s ship production of 2 million dwt with ship production of 14 million dwt.
In 2008, due to difficulties in the global banking sector, in terms of Finance will be a little tough you might think that, while loans to the banks go back and timely freight ship in the markets of the crisis, considering that we didn’t expect any, is convinced that it can pass as well as in 2007 ,Çebi, in the past, he says in his portrayal of the struggle of Turkish industrialists US: “where are exalted Entrepreneurship, encouraged and protected in countries where it is a proven fact that economic growth rates are above average. As an industrialist, we have had a difficult struggle with our belief in the importance of entrepreneurship. Delays caused by the legislation of factories at the time of their establishment cause great material and moral fatigue to industrialists and, of course, slow down the pace of the Turkish economy. ”
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE IRON AND STEEL SECTOR?
The nature of investment in the iron and steel sector has been undergoing radical changes in recent years. With the investment decisions made, the investment centers in iron and steel for some time seem to be India and China. Captain Iron and Steel, on the other hand, does not yet have to invest in these countries within the growth plans, but “If we cannot achieve stability despite all our struggles, we can necessarily move not only to China and India, but also to other countries.”says Yaşar Captain Çebi.
Turkey’s iron and steel production in 2007 was the 11th in world steel production. next up, 3rd in Europe. it is stated that he is next in line. it is said that by 2010, the position of the sector will rise one row at a time. Regarding the factors affecting the growth rate and competitiveness of Turkey in this regard
Çebi; “Although Turkish iron industrialists took their place in the world too late, they reached world standards by following the domestic and foreign market extremely carefully. At this point, it should be strengthened to display a healthy painting. Already the general development begins and continues in iron and steel.”he talks like this.
