Turkey

Welcome to the Turkey Branch of The Nautical Institute!

Officially launching in October 2024, the Turkey Branch is based in Istanbul - a significant shipping hub well placed to welcome maritime professionals and organisations not only from Turkey but also across Europe and the Middle East. 

Turkey is largely surrounded by sea and accommodates some of the most important ports and busiest straits in the world.  16 universities provide essential maritime education and training, and increasing interest by budding young mariners continues to drive up demand across these institutions.  We aim to tap into this potential for the benefit of the global maritime community.

The Branch aims to:    
·       Mentor young seafarers with a dedicated focus on maritime academies
·       Organise events, forums and technical workshops at local and international levels
·       Organise significant training with The NI Academy and other branches 
·       Set up an academic board to support The NI Academy and the Seaways journal.

We would love to see you at our events... Join us, and help develop your own professionalism and that of the wider shipping industry!
