Turkey

Although we most often work with our principals on an exclusive basis we believe that in the Turkey area we can bring our service to a higher level by cooperating with “Atlantis Marine Service Ltd.”. “Atlantis Marine Service Ltd.” is based in the Tuzla area and is a very well known player due to the fact that it is owned by Mr. Caner Ararat (Managing Director) and Mr. Cüneyt Niran (Technical Director). Caner Ararat studied to become a naval architect before he became director of GEMAK Shipyard (who also owns the new building yard TGE) for 18 years. Cüneyt Niran is a naval architect too, but also was Chief Engineer for many years before he founded his own repair company which is now renamed to Atlantis Marine Service Ltd.

Due to their background, but even more importantly, due to their experience, Atlantis Marine Service Ltd. speaks and understands the  language of repair / conversion and new building. The relationships that  Mr. Ararat has with almost every yard in the Tuzla and Yalova area gives us the opportunity to offer the best match between ship-owners and repair yards.   

Because Mr. Ararat and Mr. Niran know all the shipyards in the area so well they were able to select the best yards for us, all specialised in their own field. Atlantis Marine Service Ltd. can find (based on size, scope, price, time and quality) the best partner. Next to this matchmaking we can also offer direct repairs, fully supported by “Atlantis Marine Service Ltd.”.

Cyprus

The FAMA Group history, and that of its founders, the Tzortzis family, has always been associated with the shipyard activity of Cyprus. They are classified as the pioneers and the major up to day players in the area for this type of service. FAMA's reorganization plan contributed to the improvement even more of the good reputation of its shipyards by establishing the shipyards as one of the most reputable shipyards in the Eastern Mediterranean offering very high standard of services, time punctuality, whilst maintaining its commitment to safety. This is justified by the large number of satisfied clients operating in the Eastern Mediterranean as well as the Red Sea who choose FAMA Group and its shipyards, for their major repairs and or conversions.
