RS Platou Istanbul is the latest addition to the growing network of RS Platou offices around the world.
It was established on the 2nd of July 2007 in Istanbul, the commercial and cultural hub of the modern Turkish Republic. Once the legendary capital of two great successive empires, the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) before that, Istanbul is a port-city with a historic maritime pedigree, in a unique geographical position as it hugs and links two continents, Asia and Europe, straddling one of the most famous maritime lanes in the world - the Bosphorus.
Today, in the 21st century, Turkey is generating and experiencing an unprecedented expansion of shipping activity. With its close proximity to the Turkish Shipyards, excellent infrastructure and a multitude of modern offices accommodating well known and respected Shipowners, Charterers, Shipping Agents and associated industries, Istanbul is the centre of that activity.
RS Platou Istanbul has been formed to offer ship broking services primarily in the Dry Bulk sector of the industry, as well as in Sale & Purchase and New Building. And it can liaise with the Head Office and branch offices to provide Container chartering, Tanker chartering, Offshore and Financial services.
The company office is centrally located in the fashionable Nisantasi district on the European shore of Istanbul and is easily accessible by public and private transport.
