About Akkon Lines
Akkon Lines, legally Akkon Maritime Transport and Trade A.S., is a Turkish container carrier founded in 2018 and based in Istanbul. It is young by the standards of the sector, yet it has climbed quickly. By 2026 it operated roughly 34 vessels for more than 50,000 TEU of capacity and had become the second-largest container operator flying a Turkish flag, closing much of the gap on long-time leader Arkas Line and ranking around 35th among carriers worldwide.
The company grew mainly through chartered tonnage rather than owned ships, only a couple of vessels are on its own books, which let it add services fast as Mediterranean and Black Sea trade patterns shifted. Its core remains intra-Mediterranean and Black Sea liner work, with regular calls at Turkish, Bulgarian (Varna, Burgas) and other regional ports, plus growing reach into East Africa, including Mogadishu.
Beyond that regional base, Akkon runs deep-sea loops that set it apart from a pure feeder operator, a Turkey to India and Pakistan service (TIP) and a Far East to Turkey loop (FES) worked by ships in the 1,700 to 2,000 TEU range. Under SCAC code AKKU, its containers carry the AKKU prefix, and it handles standard, high-cube, open-top, flat-rack and reefer equipment across its network.
