July 24, 2026 [Tank Storage Magazine]- The Eastern Mediterranean Petrochemical Cluster (DAPEK) has exceeded $3 billion (€2.6 billion) in investment, with the majority coming from the $2 billion (€1.7 billion) polypropylene production facility and liquid bulk terminal. DAPEK is developed by Ronesans Holding in Ceyhan, Adana, Turkiye.

DAPEK offers development plots and a multimodal logistics infrastructure that connects road, rail and sea, placing itself as an industrial investment opportunity for companies working in petrochemicals, chemicals, energy equipment, composite materials and biofuels. The liquid bulk terminal is a joint investment of Ronesans Holding and Stolt-Nielsen.

Erman Ilicak, President Emeritus of Ronesans Holding, states: ‘With our investment programme… we are creating a next-generation industrial ecosystem, not simply construction facilities. Our goal is to establish Turkiye’s most competitive industrial hub by co-locating production and logistics to energy and port infrastructure – everything investors need within a single location. We view DAPEK as a foundational to Turkoye’s industrial infrastructure for the next 50 years.’
