Background

The first ferry services in the Gulf of İzmir were launched in February 1884 by the İzmir Hamidiye Ferry Company. The piers used in those years were wooden. According to the data of 1915, the Konak-Karşıyaka line was used by 1,100,000 people annually, while 900,000 passengers were carried between Konak and Güzelyalı. The Belgians, who bought the company shares in 1908, changed the name of the company. In 1925, a public company called İzmir Port and Gulf Affairs took over the transportation business. Later, Turkish Maritime Organization became responsible for transport in the gulf. At that time, sixty daily services were organized on six lines. İzmir Metropolitan Municipality took over the transportation business in 2000. Today, the company named İzdeniz established by the municipality provides transportation in the gulf. As of 2018, there are nine active ferry quays in the gulf. In 2015, 14,392,982 passengers were carried.
