Anadolu Sigorta shares a part of their income from ships insurance with TURMEPA/DenizTemiz (Turkish Marine Environment Protection Association).
Offering insurance coverage to commercial cargo liners, and private and commercial excursion boats, ship building/renewal projects, as well as liabilities of ship repairmen, marinas, and maritime and port authorities via ship insurance products; Anadolu Sigorta maintains its market leadership in this branch for long years. Within the scope of a protocol signed with TURMEPA/DenizTemiz (Turkish Marine Environment Protection Association) in 2011, Anadolu Sigorta donates a part of their income from ships insurance products to the association every year, contributing to the protection of the seas.

Semiha Öztürk, General Manager of TURMEPA/DenizTemiz (Turkish Marine Environment Protection Association), visited Anadolu Sigorta; during which Mehmet Şencan, General Manager of Anadolu Sigorta, gave a statement: “With every single policy we issue, we are contributing to TURMEPA. As Turkey’s leader company, we invest our income from insurance activities into our country, into the sectors we provide services for. Our existing partnerships are a part of this approach. In addition, we are also happy to be sponsoring sailing competitions and Bodrum Cup, the biggest sailing festival in the Mediterranean,” he said.

Şencan also underlined the importance of insurance in terms of the continuity of commercial activities in the maritime sector, which is of great importance for the national economy. “As in many branches, Anadolu Sigorta is the market leader in ships insurance with a market share of 36 percent. With the responsibility of this leadership, we will continue supporting TURMEPA/DenizTemiz (Turkish Marine Environment Protection Association), which continues its activities with the aim of leaving a habitable environment to future generations and make sure that they can benefit from the seas of Turkey,” he said. Semiha Öztürk, General Manager of TURMEPA/DenizTemiz (Turkish Marine Environment Protection Association), stated that we owed one of every two breaths we take to our seas, and 50 to 70 percent of the oxygen we need were provided by the seas. “TURMEPA fights for the protection of our seas as our oxygen providers, with the support of all sea-lovers; and works for that cause especially through education and waste collection activities for 25 years. As TURMEPA, we are trying to explain the vital importance of our seas; and we make an effort to make everyone to be a part of this fight. And all those efforts are yielding fruits: So far, we have reached 8 million 300 thousand students. With 6 waste collection ships that became the symbol of our association, we have collected 38 million liters of liquid waste. We are trying to increase those figures with everything we have. We are very happy to receive support from the prominent and sensitive brands of our country. Thanks to the donations made by Anadolu Sigorta so far, we have prevented 570 thousand liters of black water from polluting our seas, which has kept 4 million 500 thousand liters of seawater clean,” she said. She highlighted that they attach great importance to the support provided by Anadolu Sigorta, adding that their cooperation model should be an example for other finance and insurance companies. At the end of the visit, Semiha Öztürk presented a thank-you plate to Mehmet Şencan.
