The Journey of Palmali Holding

Founded in 1998, Palmali Holding has proven its expertise in the maritime industry, with Istanbul serving as the foundation for its head office. At the helm of this rapidly developing maritime enterprise is our founder and Chairman, Mübariz Mansimov. In its early phase, Palmali served as an agency for vessels traversing the renowned Istanbul and Çanakkale Straits, including those visiting Turkish ports. It wasn't long before Palmali embarked on the path of building its own fleet, a move that would transform its place in the industry.

The prime ambition of Palmali's founding members was to rise to the top as a leading maritime corporation within the Black Sea and Caspian Sea regions. The realization of this ambition was supported by a combination of hands-on experience and a workforce enhanced by professional training. This approach not only validated the company's ambition, but also suggested the that company would constantly determine new goals on the international stage.

Today, Palmali Holding holds a formidable position in the maritime sector, rivaling the strongest companies in the transportation segment that spans across the inland ports of Russia, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Caspian Sea, and the Baltic Sea. The company has also set its eyes on the global transportation market, aiming to extend its sphere of influence far beyond the regions it initially operated in.

In the future, we aim to stand as the leading  global maritime transportation entity with an impressive roster of offices, a vast fleet of vessels, and a dedicated workforce in the thousands. On a daily basis, we enhance our own understanding of transportation by developing new and more sustainable technologies. We are proud to operate a fleet that's dedicated to cargo transportation, with safety and social responsibility forming the cornerstone of our operations.
