Arkas and Deniz Temiz Turmepa II

Having started to operate 15 years ago within the scope of the project that was launched in cooperation between Arkas Holding and TURMEPA, Arkas TURMEPA II waste collection vessel proves to be a right model for such projects considering its outcomes. The direct advantage of this project is that it both contributes to keeping the bays of Cesme and the sea water clean and also prevents the regional sea habitat from degradation.

Excess heat from the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans and seas, and studies show that seas produce 50 to 70% of the oxygen we need on earth. Conservation of seas and life below water is among the top priorities of Arkas being the leading shipping company of Türkiye. With this goal, total amount of waste collected by Arkas Turmepa II since 2006 reached over 2 million liters contributing to the continuity of life below waters as well as life on land.
