HOW THE CORRIDOR RUNS

Turkish stone from quarry to project site, step by step

Stone is a project cargo as much as a commodity: every block is selected, every slab is photographed. The desk runs six stages under one contract from Anatolian quarry to Indian or Gulf port.

01

Selection & contract

Turkish marble, travertine and limestone are selected against project photographs and samples. Colour, veining, dimensions, finish and quantity are agreed before processing or shipment.

02

Quarry & processing

NASIF sources blocks from Anatolian quarries and slabs and cut-to-size from Marmara-region factories. Every bundle is numbered and photographed before it leaves the yard.

03

Packing & containers

NASIF ships stone blocks in 20-foot or open-top containers, slabs on A-frames and cut-to-size in crates. Weight per container is planned against the road and port limits at both ends.

04

Documents

Packing lists with bundle photographs, origin certificates and invoices are checked against the contract and payment terms. Shipping instructions and bills of lading are verified at the appropriate stage of the booking.

05

Voyage

Containers move from Marmara ports to the agreed Indian or Gulf destination. The quotation sets out the expected routing and transit time, with tracking and ETA updates through the destination terminal.

06

Discharge & delivery

Port delivery and any onward movement to the buyer’s yard or project site are priced to the agreed scope. Under CFR, CIF or DAP, the buyer handles import clearance and duties; CFR and CIF do not automatically include inland delivery.

FAQ

Questions stone buyers ask first

Which materials can you supply?

NASIF supplies Turkish marble, travertine and limestone as quarry blocks, polished slabs, cut-to-size and tiles. Selection is per project against photographs and physical samples, so colour, veining and finish are agreed before the contract fixes quantity.

What is the minimum order?

The minimum order is a single container. Programmes of several containers a month are structured per counterparty, with block sizes, slab thickness or cut-to-size drawings fixed in the contract so each shipment matches the last.

How are slabs protected in transit?

Slabs travel on A-frames with foam and strapping; cut-to-size in wooden crates; blocks in open-top or standard containers with wooden chocking. Weight per container is planned against the road and port limits at both ends.

Which Incoterms apply?

FOB, CFR or CIF may apply to sea shipments; DAP includes carriage to a named yard or site. The buyer handles import clearance and duties under these terms. For container movements, the team will confirm the appropriate Incoterm and handover point.

How is quality guaranteed?

Every bundle is numbered and photographed before packing, and the photographs travel with the packing list, so the buyer can match what arrives to what was sold. Inspection at the factory can be arranged before shipment.

What payment terms are usual?

Letter of credit or telegraphic transfer, structured per counterparty. A deposit against production is common for cut-to-size orders because the material is processed to the buyer’s drawings before it ships.

Which ports does NASIF ship Turkish stone to?

NASIF ships stone in containers from Marmara-region ports to Mundra and Kandla in India and to Jebel Ali and Dammam in the Gulf. Other destination ports are quoted on request.

Can NASIF process stone to drawings?

Yes. Cut-to-size, tiles and finished edges are processed at factories in the Marmara region to the buyer’s drawings and finish specification, then crated and photographed bundle by bundle before shipment.

How long does delivery take from order?

Timing depends on stock availability, material selection, processing, packing and the vessel schedule. Slabs and cut-to-size orders typically require production time; we confirm a realistic production and shipment programme with the quotation.

Can I inspect the material before shipment?

Yes. Inspection at the quarry or factory can be arranged before packing, in person or through an independent inspector. Bundle photographs and the numbered packing list are sent to the buyer before the containers are gated in.
