Transit Spare Parts Delivery to Vessels in Türkiye
When a vessel calls at a port, shipyard, or anchorage, downtime is costly and efficiency is critical. One of the most important services for shipowners and managers is the on-time delivery of transit spare parts directly to the vessel.
At ID Shipping Agency, we specialize in handling these deliveries smoothly and in full compliance with Turkish Customs and maritime regulations.
What Are Transit Spare Parts?
Transit spare parts are ship spares that enter Türkiye not for domestic use, but solely for delivery to vessels. They remain under customs transit regime and are exempt from import duties. Once cleared, they are handed over directly to the vessel.
How the Process Works
Customs Clearance (Transit Regime)
Spare parts are declared under the transit regime.
No domestic circulation is permitted – parts are delivered only to the vessel.
Temporary Storage
Parts may be held briefly at bonded warehouses, ports, or airports until the vessel’s ETA.
Final Delivery to Vessel
Delivery is arranged at port, shipyard, or anchorage.
For vessels at anchorage, parts are transferred via licensed boat service.
A signed Delivery Note ensures transparent handover.
Required Documentation
Air Waybill or Bill of Lading
Proforma Invoice & Packing List
Customs Transit Declaration
Delivery Note signed onboard
Why It Matters
Saves time: Urgent parts reach the vessel without delay.
Cost-effective: No import duty or VAT is applied.
Flexibility: Delivery can be arranged at ports, straits, or shipyards across Türkiye.
Key Considerations
Correct documentation is crucial to avoid customs penalties.
Only licensed shipping agencies are authorized to handle such deliveries.
All parts must be marked as “For Vessel’s Own Use” in documents.
At Tedmarine, we ensure that your spare parts are always delivered safely, legally, and on time — whether your vessel is at Tuzla Shipyard, Yalova, Istanbul Anchorage, or transiting the Turkish Straits.
