Arkas Russia
In order to effectively handle the increasing trade volume with Russia, one of Turkey's most important trade partners, Arkas Russia has begun operations at the port of Novorossiysk. Import containers reaching Novorossiyk port by sea are transferred to their final destinations in Russia and all of the countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States via rail and overland connections. Arkas Russia offers door-to-door delivery and reliable transport of imported goods to numerous ports in the Black Sea and Mediterranean via Arkas Line. Located in southern Russia, the port of Novorossiysk is a Deep Water port that is ice free year-round. Exports from here are sent primarily to ports in Istanbul, Alexandria, Algiers, Barcelona and Valencia, while imports are received from Turkey, Spain and Greece. Imported goods include construction materials, deep freezers, non-hazardous chemicals, textile products, plastic household goods, PVC and marble. The most notable exports are plastic raw materials (polypropylene), paper and paper products, synthetic rubber, aluminum and similar metals as well as asbestos.
