Stolthaven Terminals has announced a partnership with Rönesans Holding to jointly develop a new terminal located in Ceyhan, Adana, Türkiye. The facility forms part of a large-scale development project valued at US $2 billion, which also includes a polypropylene production plant to be developed separately by Rönesans Holding. The plant is expected to have an annual production capacity of 472,500 metric tonnes, meeting approximately 17 percent of Türkiye’s PP demand.
The new terminal will feature a deep-sea jetty and feedstock storage services for the adjacent PP plant, incorporating advanced environmentally sustainable technologies to enhance efficiency. Situated within the Ceyhan Energy Specialised Industrial Zone, the terminal will also be ideally positioned to offer efficient and competitive storage and handling services to other customers in southern and central Türkiye. Plans are in place to expand the facility into a chemical terminal to support the future growth of the industrial zone.
Türkiye is one of the world’s largest importers of polypropylene, a versatile commodity used across a range of industries including textiles, automotive, and packaging. The development will boost Türkiye’s domestic production and distribution capabilities, reducing reliance on imports, and represents one of the largest private sector investments in the country.
Guy Bessant, president of Stolthaven Terminals, commented: “We are pleased to partner with Rönesans Holding on this landmark project. With more than 50 years of experience in the safe and efficient handling of bulk liquids and gases, and expertise in large-scale developments, Stolthaven Terminals is well positioned to deliver this critical infrastructure. This terminal will not only serve the Ceyhan PP Plant but could also provide future storage and logistics solutions for local and international companies operating in the region.”
Erman Ilıcak, president of Rönesans Holding, added: “This development exemplifies our commitment to sustainable, high-impact investments that support Türkiye’s economic and industrial ambitions. The Ceyhan PP Plant will create hundreds of new jobs and secure a more resilient and competitive supply chain for polypropylene across Türkiye and Europe.”
