Turkish shipyards are the only shipyards that can produce special ships, especially preferred by the European market, in high quality and on time. Fairs are very important in terms of bringing these products together with the world’s leading companies and carrying Turkey’s regional power to global markets.

We are trying to take part in all trade fairs. We aim to represent our country in the best way and to realize more successful projects with the works we do with our local and international partners.Desan Shipyard, which has turned to military shipbuilding as well as ship maintenance and repair in recent years, added Turkey’s first Emergency Response and Diving Training boats to the Turkish Naval Forces inventory.
