Ceyhan's marine transport terminal at the Port of Ceyhan is the Mediterranean terminus of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline (the "BTC") which brings crude oil from the landlocked Caspian Sea across Azerbaijan and Georgia, entering Turkey in the northeast. The pipeline was completed in May 2005. The terminal contains seven storage tanks, a jetty capable of loading two tankers of up to metric simultaneously, metering facilities, a waste water treatment plant and vapor incineration ("burn-off") facilities. Ceyhan Port is also the destination of Kirkuk–Ceyhan Oil Pipeline. This pipeline was closed in 2024 due to a payment dispute but resumed operations on 27 September 2025 after an interim agreement was reached between Iraq's federal oil ministry, the natural resources ministry of the Kurdistan Region, and international oil companies operating in the region.
