Emre Öncü has been appointed as the managing director of Varamar Istanbul, bringing with him extensive experience in shipping, previously serving in a senior chartering role at Core Shipping.  

“We see the growing potential of Türkiye, and the wider Caspian and Middle East region, and would therefore like to lay the foundation for the company’s future growth on the crossroads between east and west,” said Öncü.
 
“Varamar has been providing trusted shipping solutions since its formation in 2009 and our new operation in İstanbul will offer the same full package of services, including document support, port operations monitoring and engineering, as well as unrivalled cargo care and customer service.” 

The company operates semi-liner services to and from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, all of which serve the Mediterranean and Black seas, as well as Türkiye. The opening of the Istanbul office follows the recent expansion in Shanghai, Houston and Athens.  

Varamar’s experience includes the development of transport solutions for dismantled plants, factories, wind turbines, bridges, vehicles and stadiums.
