Advantages of Shipping Goods from Turkey via Novorossiysk
When purchasing goods in Turkey, you can arrange for their delivery to Russia by air, road, or sea. Air freight involves the highest transportation costs and strict limitations on weight and volume of cargo. Road transport allows for some limitations on dimensional characteristics of the shipment but is significantly cheaper than air delivery. However, since there is no land border between Russia and Turkey, you will waste time on transit customs clearance in multiple countries.
Sea freight is the most cost-effective way to transport goods from Turkey to Russia. In terms of delivery speed, it can compete with road transport, and sea freight does not impose restrictions on the volume of the cargo. However, shipping goods to Russia by sea from Turkey makes economic sense only when unloading in Novorossiysk. Sending goods, raw materials, or products through Vladivostok or Baltic ports is not advantageous in terms of logistics, cost, and duration of the route.
"Win Way Logistics" handles both exports and imports, organizing routes from Turkish ports to Novorossiysk and back. Turkey is a country with a lenient sanctions policy, a developed industry, and agriculture.

What Can Be Imported from Turkey by Sea
Our company has extensive experience in the Turkey-Russia route. We handle both import and export shipments. Most of our clients find it economically viable to import and export the following types of cargo:
- Polymer materials – from PVC granules to polyethylene film;
- Paint and coatings – from enamels to deck varnishes;
- Industrial equipment – from machines to assembly lines;
- Tires and wheels for passenger and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and ATVs;
- Packaging materials – we can deliver any type of cardboard, stretch film, bags, and more to the required port;
- Elevator equipment – from freight to passenger models, including premium class;
- Construction and finishing materials – from bricks to carved decor made of natural stone;
- Food products – both perishable and long shelf-life items;
- Household chemicals and professional cleaning agents.
Most goods are transported in 20 or 40-foot containers (21.8 or 30.48 tons of cargo per box). The metal container protects the cargo from weather conditions, jolts, impacts, and criminal interest from third parties. The organization of delivery takes into account the capabilities of the container lines at Turkish ports. Most operators have representatives in Novorossiysk, which facilitates the organization of transportation and transshipment even under sectional pressure. The chartered vessel will enter the sanctioned Novorossiysk with a 100% guarantee.
Sea Ports in Turkey
Our company offers delivery services from any Turkish port, providing full cargo support, including transshipment monitoring and assistance with customs clearance. However, most of our clients choose the following Turkish ports:
- Ambarli – the largest port in Turkey, located just 30 kilometers from Istanbul (on the Sea of Marmara).
- Gebze – a port in a logistics hub connected by railway from Istanbul and a highway via the Osman Gazi Bridge across the Izmit Bay.
- Gemlik – the main port of Bursa province, which grows and supplies the best fruits and vegetables in Turkey.
- Istanbul – a logistics center that includes the ports of Haydarpaşa, Ambarli, and Zeytinburnu.
- Izmir – a port with a berth line of 3,386 meters, capable of accommodating up to 18 large vessels at once.
- Izmit – the main port of the Marmara province.
- Mersin – the main port of southeastern Anatolia and the second busiest port in Turkey.
- Samsun – the largest Turkish port on the Black Sea, ensuring fast delivery of goods to Novorossiysk.
The loading port is chosen by the client or their supplier. Our representative will charter a spot on the vessel for your container, oversee the loading of the goods on board, and check the documentation. We will help construct the shortest route from Turkey to Novorossiysk.
Delivery Times for Cargo by Sea from Turkey to Russia
Most international ports in Turkey are located along the Sea of Marmara, Aegean Sea, or Mediterranean Sea; however, the country also has access to the Black Sea coastline. As a result, transportation times for cargo to Novorossiysk range from 36 hours to 14 days. An alternative method of transporting containers by truck takes a minimum of 12 days.
Transportation of cargo from ports in the Istanbul agglomeration takes no more than 30-35 hours. The journey from Izmir to Novorossiysk takes about 55 hours, while the route from Gemlik to Novorossiysk is completed in 36-40 hours. Considering transshipment at the ports of departure and unloading, as well as customs clearance, the minimum delivery time for goods from Turkey to Russia by sea is three days.
Our company not only handles sea freight but is also ready to offer clients multimodal delivery by land to any region in Russia.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Sea Freight from Turkey
The freight price depends on the port of departure or destination, as well as the number of containers loaded onto the vessel. Demand volume also influences pricing. For instance, during the pandemic and currently, there has been an increase in sea freight rates due to a shortage of empty equipment (containers). In some cases, we have observed a fourfold increase in rates, and costs are also rising due to higher insurance premiums.
