New Transportation market report from Business Monitor International: "Turkey Freight Transport Report Q4 2014"
[USPRwire, Wed Nov 19 2014] Following a year in which BMI saw increasing volumes across Turkey's freight transport sector, 2014 will signal further growth in line with our macroeconomic forecasts for the country.
Total trade is projected to pick up with our Country Risk desk forecasting a year-on-year (y-o-y) increase of 4.0% in 2014 following a growth of 4.33% in 2013.
Road freight is to continue to dominate the sector and is projected to grow by 4% in 2014. The mode has made a prompt recovery from the downturn and enjoys the benefits of not having to make any reductions in road haulage volumes, such as those pledged by the neighbouring EU.
Growth in rail freight volumes will be helped by the Marmaray rail tunnel under the Bosphorus Strait, which was opened in 2013.
The throughput at the Port of Ambarli, one of Turkey's largest ports, is set to continue strong growth in terms of tonnage. Over the medium term we project further increases in freight volumes at the port and the recovery to their pre-downturn levels.
