Abstract
The port industry that used to be labour-intensive in the past has become increasingly capital-intensive. The significance of port investments has multiplied due to their direct and indirect economic impacts on trading countries. For almost all regions around the world, port authorities provide port infrastructures and aim to obtain the highest economic benefit, not only for the regional economies, but also for the global supply chains. This paper aims to present the regulation and finance structure of ports in Turkey, considering national and global factors. In the paper, in addition to a brief summary of the government’s legislative and supervisory role, the role of both local and international players within the national port sector will be discussed from different perspectives.
