The 382-metre (1,250 feet) by 58-metre inner free-beam dock began commercial operations at the end of last month. Its first job is on a Greek-controlled aframax tanker.
The new facility significantly widens the scope of vessels Besiktas can accommodate. Its two other docks were limited to panamaxes.
“Our new market will be plus- 230-metre vessels,” said Besiktas Group managing director Yavuz Kalkavan.
