Making note of Ekol’s plans for the near future as well, Ahmet Musul noted „In 2015, we are continuing to invest in Ro-Ro. Our 5th Ro-Ro ship FADIQ, is now in service. Thanks to this new vessel to run on Haydarpaşa-Trieste line, we now run 4 trips per week on the route to Italy. At Istanbul, we make use of Haydarpaşa Terminal for our Ro-Ro operations. However, we decided to set up a new Ro-Ro terminal, as a solution to the traffic problem. We decided to build that terminal in Yalova. We intend to make the terminal operational within 2015. We will be investing USD 30 million for this project. It will help do away with 3,700,000 kg CO2 emission, a distance of 4,000,000 km, and 12,000 kg of hazardous waste, while saving 1,500,000 liters of diesel. It will also help with traffic, as 100,000 vehicles will be removed from the main arteries and bridges in the region.“
