What Rodaport does

Rodaport (legal name Roda Liman Depolama ve Lojistik İşletmeleri A.Ş.) is an integrated port and logistics operator headquartered in Gemlik, Bursa, Turkey. Founded in 2006 as a joint venture between Bursa Çimento A.Ş. Grubu and Dora Yatırım A.Ş. Grubu, the company obtained its port operating permit in December 2007 and serves the general cargo, dry bulk, and container sectors from a single facility on the Sea of Marmara. The port features a 1,200-meter quay capable of accommodating nine vessels simultaneously, with annual capacity of 200,000 TEU containers and 3,000,000 tons of general cargo, and operates 24 hours per day independent of weather conditions.

The company's service portfolio includes stevedoring (loading and unloading) using Post Panamax mobile cranes, open and closed storage including 60,200 m² of covered space, 137,635 m² of customs-bonded storage, and 82,000 m² of free zone storage. Container Freight Station services handle approximately 250 containers per day, covering stuffing, stripping, inspection, lashing, and related operations. Ship services include water supply, liquid waste collection, and solid waste collection. In May 2017, the company expanded into inland logistics with the RodaPort Logistics Center, a 40,000 m² A-Type bonded warehouse and free zone facility located 1.1 km from the Bursa-Istanbul highway. Underlying technology includes a port automation system for container addressing and optimization, a warehouse management system, real-time container tracking, and dedicated online portals for customer self-service.

Rodaport generates revenue through transaction-based fees across published tariff schedules covering import container handling, berthing, water supply, waste collection, fuel and victualling, machinery and equipment usage, and idle occupation fees. Customer segments are shipping companies, freight forwarders, and trading companies requiring general cargo, dry bulk, and container handling services. The company is privately held with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and no publicly reported revenue. The company holds ISO 27001:2022 information security certification and KVKK personal data protection compliance, supporting its positioning with regulated and multinational shippers.
