The port normally fulfills freshwater requests in the order in which the requests are received and insofar as the port’s capacity allows. However the port is authorized to assign fulfillment priorities to vessels in the event of insufficient capacity or emergencies.

Utility water is supplied 24/7 from the valves available on each dock at the Port of Bandırma. Water supply capacity is around 15-20 tons/hour.
