Kusadasi Cruise Ship Terminal

completed

The Kusadasi Cruise Ship Port (Kusadasi Port), one of the largest cruise ship terminals in Turkey, is located only 21 kms away from Ephesus, an important Greco/Roman archeological site, and therefore is a popular port of call for cruises in the Mediterranean that originate in Greece, Italy, France, Spain and Turkey. The proposed project comprises the operation and expansion of the Kusadasi Port under a 30-year concession granted by the Government of Turkey (GOT) to Ege Liman Isletmeleri A.S. (Ege Ports). The project, expected to cost $29.3 million, includes financing of the $24.3 million concession payment to the GOT, construction of a new passenger terminal, minor renovations of other terminal facilities, and purchase of necessary equipment for carrying out operations of the Kusadasi Port.
