| Abstract: | International trade is one of the most important factors in the realization of growth and development for countries. Logistics activities are decisive in the uninterrupted realization and success of global trade. Transportation activity has an important place among logistics activities. 85% of the transportation activity, which has an important place in international trade, is carried out by sea. The most important routes of the sea route, which has great importance in connecting countries to each other and in trade activities, are canals and straits, which are described as artificial and natural waterways. Artificial water canals are generally man-made roads to save distance, time and logistics costs and they make a significant contribution to world trade. These canals create many advantages in terms of reducing transportation costs, shortening lead time and providing energy efficiency. In addition, artificial they provide serious income to the countries within their borders. Countries that use maritime transportation effectively and have geopolitical importance due to their location have a strong power in global trade. Turkey is in an advantageous situation thanks to the seas, straits and ports it has. In this study, two artificial water channels, Suez and Panama canals, which have a major place in global trade, were examined in the light of data. In addition to these data, the logistics potential of Canal Istanbul was evaluated by considering the current Bosphorus statistics. |
