Düzgit Group has expanded its services to shipping in the busy Bosporus area of Turkey through the delivery of two new multipurpose workboats.

Düzgit Group is bringing new workboat Salim Düzgit into service in June. This 20-m vessel was launched in April 2019 with deck area for cargo and personnel transportation and marine construction support. Düzgit built this vessel at its own shipyard in Yalova, 20 km from Tuzla, Turkey.
