SUMMARY AND OVERVIEW
Turkey is uniquely situated in the world in that it spans two continents; Asia and Europe, separated by the Bosphorus Strait, thus forming a natural gateway between East and West. Although not the capital city, Istanbul, situated on both continents either side of the Bosphorus, is Turkey’s major economic centre, generating almost half the country’s trade and one fifth of its GDP. In 1964, Turkey became an associate member of the European Community and over the past decade, it has undertaken many reforms to strengthen its democracy and economy; it began accession membership talks with the European Union in 2005. Turkey's dynamic economy is a complex mix of modern industry and commerce along with a traditional agriculture sector that still accounts for more than 35% of employment. Despite the strong economic gains from 2002- 07, which were largely due to renewed investor interest in emerging markets, IMF backing, and tighter fiscal policy, the economy is still burdened by a high current account deficit and high external debt. Economic fundamentals are sound, marked by moderate economic growth and foreign direct investment. Nevertheless, the Turkish economy may be faced with more negative economic indicators in 2009 as a result of the global economic slowdown. Turkey has a very strong and centuries old commercial shipbuilding industry and is recognised as a specialist producer of chemical and oil tankers between 50m and 100m in length. Geographically, there are three main boatbuilding regions: Tuzla, a major shipbuilding region close to Istanbul, Antalya, an economic free zone in the south and Bodrum / Ören, considered the birthplace of boatbuilding in Turkey, claiming a boat building industry going back almost 2,000 years. Turkey’s boatbuilding sector is characterised by low labour costs, an abundance of locally produced raw material and a pool of highly skilled labour. However, the quality of boats produced can vary from one end of the spectrum to the other. In recent years a number of yards have made significant advances in technology and working practices and can now stand alongside the best yards in the world. The high profile Maltese Falcon, built at Perini Navi’s facility in Tuzla did much to change the perception of Turkish yacht building and yards such as Numarine can boast some of the most sophisticated manufacturing techniques and technology found anywhere. Between 2004 and 2008 the leisure boatbuilding sector has enjoyed significant foreign investment with a number of the world’s higher profile yacht builders looking to Turkey to set up production facilities either as subsidiary companies or by working with partner companies. Examples include Vitters, Nedship, Oyster and Perini Navi. Picture: CIA World Factbook Turkey has long since been a popular tourist destination and enjoys the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmaris and Black Sea around its coastline. However, domestic boat ownership per capita is very low and the slow pace of marina development is blamed for restricting the growth of the leisure marine industry. Of course, like everywhere else, Turkey has to contend with the global economic downturn further restricting growth within the marine sector. The future growth of the Turkish leisure marine industry therefore relies on increasing the export reach of its boat builders and therefore the build quality, brand recognition and general reputation for quality are of utmost importance for its credibility on the world stage. Many companies are now demonstrating that they are globally savvy and are pushing hard to establish themselves in the world’s markets, gaining presence through global marketing and establishing strong dealer networks. For this reason, Turkey’s yacht builders are becoming more discerning of quality products and services creating opportunities for British manufacturers of high end products. These opportunities also extend to yacht designers and naval architects, interior designers and to services such as marketing and brokerage. Turkey’s Superyacht sector is one of the largest and most established in the world after Italy, Holland and the USA. Despite the economic situation most of Turkey’s larger yacht builders have strong order books and, which means that it is a good time for British exporting companies to explore this rapidly developing market.

Turkey has a number of eminent boat building companies serving the leisure marine and Superyacht sectors. Many of these companies have enjoyed strong growth over the last 6-8 years and have been able to invest in their facilities and production techniques. Others have attracted the attention of foreign companies to finance their development. As Turkey is taken more seriously as a producer of high quality, technically advanced products, so it’s presence in the world market will grow, creating opportunities for those companies servicing the industry. In times of financial difficulty and cost-cutting more people will be looking to take advantage of the combination of Turkey’s relatively low labour costs, highly skilled workforce and technologically advanced production facilities. Some companies, such as Vicem Yachts have thrived on their reputation for using traditional materials and working practices to produce very high quality and unique boats, enjoying a very strong following in the USA. Others, such as Peri Yachts and Numarine have embraced the latest designs, working practices and materials to gain brand recognition in the very tough and discerning European market.
Superyacht Building in Turkey During the last 10 years luxury yacht building has increased in popularity and capacity. The type of yacht builders currently fall into three categories based on the structure of their organisation and facilities. The first category generally comprises boat builders with small workshops owned by individuals who have been building boats of all sizes, mainly out of wood. Over the years the size of vessel has increased and production methods modernized. The old method of carvel planking on cut frames has died away and has been replaced by wood epoxy planking over laminated keel and frames. Several significantly sized yachts have been constructed using this method, predominantly motor yachts or traditional ketches, called ‘Gulets’*, which can reach up to 50m in length. Another common sight in Turkey is a three-deck, hard-chine motor yacht, normally around 40 / 42m. This group of vessels is the most cost-effective in terms of production and offer excellent value for money. The second category comprises shipyards with strong corporate identities, well known brand names, modern facilities and well educated and highly experienced engineers. Yachts in this category range from 20m to 80m; the smaller ones being constructed from composite materials with planing hulls and the larger ones in steel / aluminium or all aluminium. Many of these yards are producing to European quality with MCA, ABS and Lloyd’s certification. The third category contains the production yards producing smaller boats. Still in its early stages, this sector of the Turkish boat building industry has experienced rapid growth and with experience improved quality and manufacturing efficiency.
Many foreign yards are choosing to have facilities in Turkey and, in some cases, are starting to deliver vessels under their own brand name built entirely in Turkey.
We can expect to see Turkish yards continue to increase their share of the market and continue to provide excellent opportunities for buyers wishing to take advantage of the high quality on offer at great value for money.
*Gulets A Gulet is an all wooden motor powered sailing yacht, built with a wide, flat deck, a large, round stern, two masts and strong, square sails that is famed for providing the zenith of luxury. Though primarily motor powered they often boast tall sails as a secondary, and quieter, means of propulsion. They are a product of a maritime heritage that is second to none. From the Classical era through to the Ottoman Empire and beyond, the Turkish region has been famous for the quality of its craftsmen and the handsomeness of its ships. The Gulet is the modern representation of this tradition. Gulet cruising is one of the most popular activities that holidaymakers can enjoy while exploring the temptations of the Turkish Riviera.

There are a number of well organised and pro-active Turkish distributors, but also a good number who are not so effective. Many British companies prefer to deal directly with the yards as the volumes tend to be relatively low and the technical input required high. This is because most of the prominent yards are building low- volume series production yachts or one-off custom Superyachts.

CHARTER INDUSTRY
Turkey has some of the most beautiful and interesting coastlines anywhere in the world. With four different seas around it’s shores: Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmaris and Black Sea, Turkey is an extremely popular tourist and yachting destination, whether it be visiting yachts or locally chartered vessels. The are more than 600 companies offering yacht charters from bareboat to fully crewed and RIBS to Superyachts. The vast majority, not surprisingly operate in and around the Aegean and Mediterranean. The Yacht Charter Guide www.yachtcharterguide.com and Boating Turkey www.boatingturkey.netis are excellent resources for identifying charter companies operating in the region. MARINAS
Turkey has more than 40 marinas with a berthing capacity of around 20,000*, the most established of which lie on the southern Aegean and Mediterranean coasts at Izmir, Cesme, Kusadasi, Bodrum, Ayvalik, Mersin, Datca, Bozburun, Marmaris, Gocek, Fethiye, Kalkan, Kas, Finike, Kemer and Antalya. These well- equipped harbours contain all the services and provisions any yacht would require. Antalya, Bodrum Dalaman, Izmir and Istanbul airports provide quick links to all marinas in Turkey, ensuring departure by yacht within a day of landing.

Deniz Magazin www.denizmagazin.com.tr Consumer diving magazine CHALLENGES FOR BRITISH EXPORTERS
Price sensitivity –Turkish yards tend to view British produced products very favourably due to the perceived high quality and recognising the positive effect in terms of credibility for their finished product when specified with high end (or perceived high end) components. However, Turkish built boats cannot command the premiums of their European counterparts and the lower labour costs only partially offset the shortfall. Therefore the market remains very price sensitive and British exporters face competition from locally produced products that are far cheaper, even though they are arguably of lower quality.
Import Documentation – It is obligatory to present a written declaration of the goods that are to be imported into Turkey. The Turkish written customs declaration document, which is virtually the same as the more familiar Single Administrative Document (SAD), is used for this purpose. The Turkish authorities use the Harmonised System Nomenclature tariff code system and it is important to use this 12-digit classification number.
To benefit from the above advantages as per the Customs Union agreement between Turkey and the EU, the following certificates must be produced: ATR (Movement Certificate): This certificate is used for industrial and processed agricultural products traded between Turkey and the EU. If this certificate is presented to the customs authorities, a Certificate of Origin is not required. As of 01/01/2001 there has not been a need to mention the originating status on the ATR Movement Certificate. EUR.1: This certificate is required for agricultural and coal & steel products traded between Turkey and the EU and are sufficient to benefit from preferential customs duty rates. It is also used for the same purpose for goods traded between Turkey and EFTA countries and countries with which Turkey has signed Free Trade Agreements. Again, if a EUR.1 Certificate is presented, a certificate of origin is not required, as the EUR.1 is sufficient proof of origin by itself. The following documents are required to import goods into Turkey: Original (commercial) Invoice. Specification. A document prepared in accordance with the original invoice to clarify the types and values of the goods when different types of goods with different values are packed in more than one package. If an ATR or EUR.1 certificate for goods originating from the EU is presented, a Certificate of Origin is not required. The Turkish Standards Institute, TSE, 'Conformity Certificate' for imported goods will be issued without carrying out any tests at the TSE if; -The product is in free movement in the EU, -Conformity of the product to relevant EU legislation is certified, -The product carries some special marks like CE, E, E, e etc. -Technical documents are presented to TSE before importation
For information and advice relating to specific products, it is recommended that you contact Business Link, who provide information and advice relating to all aspects of international trade: www.businesslink.gov.uk
Credit - There are no restrictions on overseas payments, the transfer of foreign investors' profit out of the country or any other type of transfer from Turkey to foreign countries. All usual methods of payment and insurance of payment are acceptable. Most companies seek delayed payment (30-60 days normal).
Restricted marine space - Like many countries, Turkey has a limited number of marina berths, which is a restricting factor in the development of the leisure marine industry. Whilst there are programmes to address this with new marina development, progress is generally considered to be too slow. This is further exacerbated by the present global economic conditions.
