İstanbul, Avcılar — İstanbul · 2 active ferry routes
Located in the Avcılar district, Ambarlı is one of Istanbul's largest commercial and Ro-Ro ports on the Marmara coast. Serving as the northern terminal for Marmara RoRo's Istanbul-Bandırma route, it primarily accommodates vehicle and freight transport. It is situated 6 km from the TEM highway connection and Avcılar Metrobus station.
Ambarlı Port, located in the Avcılar district in the western part of Istanbul's European side, is one of the city's largest freight and ROPAX ports. The port hosts container and dry bulk vessels as well as Bandırma Marmara RoRo Cooperative sailings. Due to its strategic location, it serves as the main hub for direct maritime connections from Istanbul's European side to the South Marmara region.
Established in the 1970s and gradually modernized over the following decades, Ambarlı Port is a combined cargo port. Today, it stands as Istanbul's second-largest freight port after Atatürk Port. Location advantages:
Ambarlı is the European side terminal for the Bandırma RO-RO and ROPAX route. This makes it a critical connection point for truck and lorry drivers looking to bypass Bosphorus crossings and Osmangazi Bridge traffic.
Ambarlı Port operates primarily as a freight-focused facility:
The port is active 24/7, with evening and night departures available for ROPAX sailings. There is a dedicated terminal building for ROPAX passenger traffic; however, passenger comfort facilities (cafes, restaurants, shopping) are limited, as the port is heavily freight-oriented.
Parking at Ambarlı Port is freight-oriented; passenger parking is limited:
Avcılar is a young and dynamic district on the western side of Istanbul's European half. With the Istanbul University Avcılar Campus, Marmaray-Metro integration, and large shopping malls, it holds a central position for living and transportation. Ambarlı Port is located on the coast in the western part of the district; since it is predominantly a port zone, the coastline has limited tourist use, but the transportation infrastructure is highly robust.
