Business Description - An Overview of the Industry TURKEY
Turkey is virtually a peninsula surrounded by sea from all three sides, presenting a perfect location for yachting and boat building.
As of the end of 2005, 300 firms had declared to manufacture boats in accordance with the Crusing Boats Regulation. All exporting firms have been operating under this regulation since 1998 as the EU Directive, which is the source of the regulation, has been in effect since 16/06/1996. As such, all boat manufacturing since then has been made under the CE Harmonization Code, ensuring customer protection, safety, and quality in boat manufacturing, and significantly increasing the exports of yachts to the EU markets.
The 2007 – 2013 Central Plan prepared by the State Planning Organization has adopted the following strategic objectives and principles relevant to the yacht manufacturing industry: (State Planning Organization. IX. Development Plan, 2007-2013)
· To increase the number of marinas, and enhance the structure of the boat-building sector in a way to increase its competitiveness in international markets
· To develop the yacht construction and maintenance infrastructure
· To make sure the international certificates of quality such as the CE Harmonization Code is adopted by yacht manufacturers
· To promote yacht manufacturing and marina construction
· To enhance administrative regulations, and establish the port authority as the one-stop office to handle all paperwork, to attract foreign yachts
· To address infrastructure deficiencies in the yacht and marine industry, and emphasize training and development programs in the sector; within this context, to address skilled workforce deficiencies in the cruising boat manufacturing industry by opening new vocational schools for yacht electricians, carpentry, etc.
· To encourage the establishment of specialized yacht manufacturing sites with complete infrastructure to enhance the international competitiveness of boat manufacturers
· To cut down the red tape in the importation of raw materials and components
· To apply tax exemption to imported components and spare parts that are designed to be used in yacht manufacturing
· To adopt export promotion measures to enhance yacht manufacturing for exports
