Gebze Container Depot

30,000 m² container yard in the Gebze depot zone: empty return depot service for the Yılport and Evyap corridor, laden storage with seal records, and own trucking for the GOSB-TOSB industrial belt — Mon–Sat gate operations, 24/7 phone line.

Why an off-dock yard in Gebze

Gebze sits at the centre of Türkiye's densest industrial corridor: the GOSB and TOSB organised industrial zones, the Dilovası basin and the Yılport and Evyap container terminals are all within a short truck run. Port free time on this corridor is short and terminal storage escalates quickly — our yard in the Gebze depot zone works as the cost-efficient buffer in between: units come off the terminal into registered, camera-monitored stacks and go back out on appointment.

FAQ

Gebze depot — common questions

Where is your Gebze container depot located?
The yard is in Tavşanlı, Gebze (Kocaeli), inside the established Gebze depot zone that serves the Yılport and Evyap port corridor on the Asian side of the Istanbul metropolitan area, next to the GOSB and TOSB organised industrial zones. Yard line: +90 262 724 85 88.
Can our line use the yard as an empty return depot?
Yes. We accept nominated empty returns and pick-ups for shipping lines and container lessors, with per-move EDI/CODECO gate messages available so your equipment team sees every move in its own system. Ask your equipment control department to add Çelikor Gebze to the approved empty return depot list.
Do you pull containers from Yılport and Evyap terminals?
Yes. Our own truck fleet collects units from Yılport Gebze and Evyap terminals, stores them at the depot and re-delivers to the terminal or to any factory in the GOSB-TOSB belt — one contractor, one invoice.
What are the gate hours at the Gebze depot?
Gate operations run Monday to Friday 08:00–18:00 and Saturday 08:00–13:00. The phone and WhatsApp line (+90 531 685 09 86) answers 24/7, and corporate clients can follow their units in the online portal around the clock.
Do you also have capacity on the European side?
Yes — our main depot in Çatalca (70,000 m², ~21 km from the Ambarlı terminals) serves the European corridor. Together the two yards give clients 100,000 m² and around 3,000 TEU of empty storage capacity with one contract.
