Import - Export Transport from Ports:
Due to the high increase in Turkey's foreign trade, the need to move the containers into and out of the ports has increased in the recent years. In order to reduce transportation costs, Ar-Gu uses its railway connections to transport import containers from the port to domestic buyers and to move export containers received at transfer stations to the ports.
In 2005, Ar-Gu has started container transportations between Mersin Port and Gaziantep, in 2006 between Kayseri-Mersin and Konya-Mersin, in 2007 between Elazığ-Mersin.
