Soon identified by major oil companies as a world-class tanker operator, the group also gained an important place in dry bulk cargo transportation worldwide.

Besiktas Shipyard is one of the top 10 companies in the world especially in maintenance repair with its giant facilities located in Yalova and Tuzla today. 

"Besiktas Group and Alba Tankers had developed a close relationship in recent years. This new partnership will further strengthen our presence in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe," Chairman of the Board of Directors of Besiktas Group, Yavuz Kalkavan stated.

Alba is an Owner and Commercial Operator of Oil Tankers based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The main focus is below 20,000 Deadweight trading Petroleum Products, Chemicals and Vegetable Oils around North West Europe.
