“Turk Loydu continues its journey by overcoming

challenging obstacles one by one.”

Considering important events in 2018, we have seen the trade wars started against Russia, China and Iran by the United States, the introduction of various protective measures in the global economy and the foreign trade regressions that negatively affect the freight rates, and in general, foreign policies used as a weapon on economies. Due to the impact of developments encountered in the world economy, it has been a difficult year for the maritime sector that provides nearly 90% of the logistics services for these trade operations. The slowdown in the marine defence industry projects in our country compared to the previous years and the fact that the orders did not reach the desired levels in the newly built commercial vessels unfortunately had negative effects on the shipbuilding industry and subordinate industry.

Despite all such negative developments in 2018, important steps were taken for the development of the sector with the support activities carried out under the leadership of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, and Turkish maritime industry continued its development on a macro scale. The sector reached an economic size of approximately USD 2.5 billion with the infrastructure investments related to the maritime industry, and the Turkish marine trade fleet continued to develop and reached 28.6 million DWT in terms of carrying capacity. In addition to works aimed at growth of the maritime sector, regulations were made for transfer of boats that navigate in Turkish territorial waters and marinas and are owned by Turkish citizens to Turkish flag. As TURK LOYDU, we maintained our support for all efforts made for our country and flag, and we worked to spread our cooperation with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to new areas.

As TURK LOYDU, we continued our growth in the maritime sector in 2018 and managed to increase the number of ships registered to our class in both number and tonnage. While increasing the number and tonnage of ships, we carried out various works in order to increase the type of ships in our fleet, in order to show more presence in our strategic areas. In this context, Turkey’s first drilling ship Fatih began to serve under TURK LOYDU class. Scope of the protocol executed with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has been extended, upon which agreements have been executed for classification of energy production ships that are pride of Turkey. We will continue our works in line with the localization and nationalization targets of our country. Our experience and competence that started with MILGEM Project on naval ships, are increasing each day, and we are fulfilling this valuable duty assigned to TURK LOYDU by Undersecretariat of Defence Industries and our Navy, with national consciousness and pride. Being positioned among the most experienced organizations in the classification of military ships in the world as a result of, giving class certificates to nearly 150 military ships until now is a source of pride for TURK LOYDU. We continue our efforts to consolidate our existing leadership in naval ship projects and improve our cooperation

09

with the Directorate of Defence Industry and shipyards in the new projects.

We continue our efforts in line with the progress plans made for achieving one of the biggest strategic targets of TURK LOYDU - becoming an IACS member - the Association of International classification Societies - and an entity recognized by the European Union. The IACS criteria integrated into our systems have now become TURK LOYDU criteria and the quality of the services provided has been improved to world quality. TURK LOYDU continues its journey by overcoming challenging obstacles one by one.

As a result of works we carried out in 2018, TURK LOYDU undersigned an important accomplishment for Turkey in the International Maritime Organization (IMO). TURK LOYDU’s Class Rules were approved at the 100th session of the Maritime Safety Committee, one of the most important committees of IMO. TURK LOYDU was the first organization outside IACS whose rules were verified by IMO. We made “IACS + TURK LOYDU” phrase take place in IMO literature. Thus, we have been one of the very few organizations in the world that have been certified by IMO to make new construction classifications of Tankers and Bulk Carriers over 150 meters. With this competence, we are aiming for classification of more new construction commercial vessels in the upcoming years.

Another important achievement of TURK LOYDU in 2018 has been the maintenance of our position in the ”High Performance” category in the last 12 years based on Paris MoU evaluations and

ranking 9th among the class societies in the world. We showed better performance than most IACS member organizations, thanks to this performance level. However, more importantly, we have contributed to the protection of white flag status of the Turkish flag at the highest level. Undoubtedly, the fact that no vessel has been detained due to an omission of TURK LOYDU since 2015 is a development that increases our success.

Considering our Industrial and Certification activities in 2018, energy, we continued providing services by extending our domestic and international geographical field in parallel with our service range particularly including energy, construction, mining, chemicals, transportation and logistics sectors. Our steel structure inspection services grew by 200% compared to the previous year. In 2018, we implemented many projects including various steel structures, bridges, stadiums, hospitals, aircraft maintenance hangars, industrial facilities and various types of civil structures, particularly including Çanakkale Bridge and the new İstanbul Airport.

We obtained “Nuclear Structure Inspection Body Authorization” from TAEK in accordance with provisions of the Regulation on Inspection of Nuclear Power Plants, in order to provide compliance inspection services for safe installation and operation of nuclear power plants in our country particularly including Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in accordance with the applicable legislation and standards. This authorization allows us to provide our services to nuclear power plants that will be strategic energy source for our country, with TURK LOYDU assurance. We have started to provide a wide range of training,

10


inspection and certification services from infrastructure to signalization, driver training, TSI certification, in the railway sector that has been included in our service range in the previous period.

TURK LOYDU will further strengthen its brand value, diversify the product range, and become a reputable brand in our country and in the region by offering many innovative and technological services as well as compliance assessment and technical expertise services as per requirements of the sector in accordance with our strategic objectives.

In parallel with the expansion of the activity area, TURK LOYDU Foundation contributed to research and development, scholarships, and increased contributions to conferences and academic events, training of technical staff, and technical works performed in the international platforms for safety of life and property, climate change and protection of the environment.

In 2018, TURK LOYDU Foundation continued with its non-refundable scholarships and educational grants for undergraduate and graduate students studying at higher education institutions. We aim to fulfil our social responsibility by contributing to the areas where we operate and our country’s beneficial human resources through our unrequited scholarship and educational grant supports.

Founded by TURK LOYDU Foundation and restructured in 2017, TL Teknik ARGE ve Tasarim Ltd. Sirketi successfully continued with technical consultancy services in maritime and onshore operations in 2018 thanks to the support of 57 years of experience of Turk Loydu, in addition to research and development operations. In addition, the European Union supported NEO-COL and SEAMAP projects have been completed and SKILLSPATH and MARED projects are being carried out with high performance. Our company TL Teknik ARGE ve Tasarım Ltd maintains its successful growth rate and is moving towards becoming our second important company which provides useful and added value services to our country under the roof of our Foundation.

A new world is being built “where we can survive through change and transformation rather than following an introverted approach”. It appears that we need to talk about facts, offer solutions and develop a common wisdom and vision in order to make Turkey a strong and leading country in the world. Steps should be taken to develop new and even higher targets by improving our steps taken towards localization and nationalization. We must also strive to increase the use of high technology in all areas while fulfilling our tasks.

We can use digitalization to leverage high-tech production and service, create high added value and increase our global competitiveness. Digital transformation is not a goal, but it is a tool for development-oriented sustainable economy. We have a chance to catch up with advancing global technologies in this period. We should use this chance in the best way possible.

As a country, we must increase the share allocated for R&D from GDP; we must already design the new economic, social and public life they will create instead of merely producing and using such technologies. We believe that the real agenda of our country should be a digital transformation from A to Z. We should keep in mind that digitalization is not a luxury but a necessity.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all staff members of TURK LOYDU who worked hard relentlessly and undersigned excellent accomplishments in 2018, and I hope 2019 brings success and happiness to our country, TURK LOYDU Foundation and companies as well as all esteemed stakeholders.

Cem MELİKOĞLUChairman of the Board of Turk Loydu Foundation

We are shaping the future of Turk Loydu in the Digitalized World

12

Following a difficult year for both Turkey and the World, we are happy to close 2018 in accordance with our targets. We successfully completed 2018 by completing the ongoing projects and adding new services that will accelerate the scope of our work.

As TURK LOYDU team, we are striving to create a unique structure that will draw attention with success, follow technological advancements closely, creating innovative projects, despite the challenging business environment. Based on this understanding, our priority is to provide fast, customized and high-quality service to our customers and stakeholders.

We managed to improve our shipbuilding portfolio in 2018 within the scope of our maritime services. In both contexts, we signed new projects and successfully maintained projects that were already signed and initiated. Taking part in many projects considered as the pride of our country gives us strength in our efforts. At the last point of the journey in connection with the military ship building that starts with TCG Yarbay Kudret Güngör that was put into service in 1996 and extends to the gigantic project to be named TCG Anadolu when

delivered, TURK LOYDU took a role in nearly 150 national and international military projects, and accumulated expertise and knowledge that will create great value for our business. Our employees will create new works by transferring their vast experience to new projects which are of great importance for the security of the Turkish Nation.

We continue our efforts to consolidate our existing leadership in military ship projects and improve our cooperation with the Directorate of Defence Industry and shipyards in connection with the new projects. In this process, along with the military ship classification activities that are performed jointly with the Directorate of Defence Industry for nearly 20 years; collaboration between TURK LOYDU and Directorate of Defence Industry has been underpinned with the signing Memorandum of Understanding covering consultancy and R&D services on 12 June 2018.

TCG Anadolu Project, a good indicator of our classification activities and expertise level of our staff and will be launched in 2019, strengthened the position of TURK LOYDU as a reliable, transparent and independent stakeholder in military

LütfüSAVAŞKAN

General Manager and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Türk Loydu Uygunluk Değerlendirme Hizmetleri A.Ş.

and civilian projects and increased out hopes for the future. The last 4 units of the Hercules series High Speed Boats for which building operations and classification procedures started in 2014 with the collaboration of TURK LOYDU and Ares Shipyard have been delivered and the project has been completed successfully. The largest ship of the series, the 150 Hercules Open Sea Patrol Ship, has been recognized with the World’s Best Award in the segment by the Work Boat World Magazine of Australia and this recognition made us very proud.

Building operations for Emergency Response and Diving Training Vessels for which classification agreements were executed in 2017 and Logistics Support Vessels due for delivery in 2019 are continued successfully under supervision of TURK LOYDU.

In 2018, an agreement was signed between TURK LOYDU and Sefine Shipyard in connection with the Classification Services for Sea Supply and Combat Support Ship. Our vessel will serve as a platform capable of performing fuel, water, food, spare parts, medical materials and ammunition supply with underway replenishment method for warships of Turkish Naval Forces Command.

We continue with military ship classification services without

slowing down both in Turkey and many countries around the World. In 2018, a classification agreement was signed for two military training ships that will be built by Adik Shipyard for meeting the demand of Qatar Naval Forces. Military student training ships that are planned to be completed within 3 years will have a special importance for TURK LOYDU, which is preparing to take part in many projects abroad.

In 2018, Asfat A.Ş. has been founded for serving the global defence industry and contributing to the economy, by using opportunities and capabilities of 27 Military Factories and 3 Military Shipyards associated with the Ministry of National Defence and MILGEM Corvette agreement was executed between Asfat A.S. And Pakistan Ministry of Defence Production for building 4 ships in total among which two will be built in Istanbul Military Shipyard Command and the other two will be built in Pakistan Karachi Shipyard. The classification services of the project, which is expected to start in the first quarter of 2019, will be performed by TURK LOYDU. We are waiting for this large-scale and challenging project with great excitement. We would like to take this opportunity to commemorate our former Chairman Prof. Yucel Odabasi with respect for his contributions for the commencement of MILGEM Project with TURK LOYDU and we would like to thank Naval Forces Command and Directorate of Defence Industry that ensured

13

TCG ANADOLU

improvement of our defence technologies and military ships by supporting TURK LOYDU since the beginning of this project.In 2018, we successfully completed many projects for merchant ships as well as new construction projects for Defence Industry and we signed agreements for new projects. The last two ships of the project for 4 passenger ships that were built for using in Istanbul Strait by Dentur Avrasya Company under the TURK LOYDU class have been delivered and they started services for locals of Istanbul as planned. Another project that excited us in 2018 was the “Zero-Emission Tugboat” project. The classification process of the project for which agreement was signed in October, was started at TK Tuzla Shipyard. The project, where Li-ion batteries are used as the main power supply, falls into a class with very few examples in the world.

In 2018, we increased the number and tonnage of vessels in the TURK LOYDU register and improved the average fleet age. By the end of 2018, the number of vessels registered under TURK LOYDU increased to 610. By the end of 2018, we managed to increase the total tonnage of the ships under our class to 941,923 GRT.

As we increased the number and tonnage of the ships in service, we also worked to increase the types of ships in our fleet. Fatih,Turkey’s first drilling ship that has a length of 229 metres, began to serve under TURK LOYDU class. We initiated classification process for another ship that is identical to this special ship and was added to our country’s assets by TPAO. Upon extension of the authorization protocol made with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Karpowership that owns the world’s only energy ship fleet, will use classification services for Integrated Floating Power Plants flying Turkish flag. As the range of the ships in our fleet is increasing each day, we also worked to make our staff qualified according to new technologies, new types of ships and international rules which are becoming more complex every day. In this context, we started activities to enrich our human resources by adding experienced and professional colleagues and lecturers who have taken part in the most important class societies in the world. I believe this activity will have very important outcomes throughout the organization. I sincerely believe that TURK LOYDU will be the centre of attraction for everyone in the sector in the future and will be in a special position on the international platform.

The position of Turkish flag in Paris MoU- White List that was earned with great efforts by Turkish maritime sector has been maintained, Turkish flagged ships closed the year with

the lowest rate of arrest thanks to diligent efforts displayed in 2018together with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. According to the performance evaluations made by Paris MoU, TURK LOYDU has maintained its position in the “High Performance” category for the last 12 years and it has been another happiness to witness that no arrest attributable to us was made since 2015.

In 2018, in the field of Industry and Certification, we continued our activities by expanding our services in construction, mining, manufacturing industry, transportation and logistics sectors including power plants, steel and reinforced concrete structures.

Our steel structure inspection services grew exponentially with the activities carried out at Çanakkale Bridge and the new Istanbul Airport. In addition to steel construction inspections carried out in our country, we also provide services for many mega projects abroad.

Projects we carried out in 2018: Siempel Camp American MDF Factory, Industrial Plant built for Lithuania, Expo 2020 Dubai Subway for which production was made in China, Erdemir Galvanization Plant, THY Aircraft Maintenance Hangar built in the New Istanbul Airport and inspection services for Kartal State Hospital.

We are providing inspection services for Mersin Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant with the authorization granted by Turkish Atomic Energy Authority for the purpose of compliance assessment services aimed at safe installation and operation of nuclear power plants in our country. As a national organization, we make diligent efforts in connection with services for nuclear power plants that will open new horizons in meeting energy needs of our country. In addition to nuclear power plants, we offer industrial inspection services for conventional power plants, thermal power plants, wind turbines, chemical and petrochemical plants and pipelines.

Considering the rail systems for which we started providing services in the recent years, we offer wide range of services from rail system infrastructure and signalization to training and certification in many ongoing projects in our country.

We take a role in committees of Defence and Aerospace Cluster Association for the purpose of improving the capacity and capabilities of the sector within the scope of works aimed at increasing the use of domestic products and services in defence industry investments. We aim to ensure that certification requirements of the defence industry are met by TURK

14


LOYDU that is a national certification body. As the first stage of the process of extending the services of the Industry and Certification Sector within the scope of the defence industry, we completed our first training for the Quality Management System Standard for Aviation, Space and Defence Entities. In this context, we are also working to extend our activities in 2019.

In this rapidly changing and renewed world of technology, we attach great importance to research and development activities to provide better and new services to our customers and stakeholders. The Seamap and Neo-Col projects supported by the European Union and carried out in cooperation with the TL Teknik Arge ve Tasarim Limited Sirket, which is an affiliate of TURK LOYDU Foundation, continue successfully.

Class Societies are now obliged to invest in digitalization in maritime and industrial sectors that rapidly change shape with digital technologies and innovative developments; adapt to and even lead the improvements. As TURK LOYDU, we closely follow developments and try to shape our future. In parallel with the digitalization processes in all sectors we serve, we are conducting innovative surveys to increase the ability of remote surveying tools, virtual reality applications and training capabilities.

For the purpose of these projects, which we will share with the sector in more detail in 2019, works have been started to establish a sector-oriented R&D Design and Excellence Centre.

We strive to contribute to our efforts related with the national technology and take a leading role in the areas we serve.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues for their efforts in fulfilling their duties with care for improving and maintaining services we provide as TURK LOYDU.

We would like to express our gratitude to all our customers and stakeholders who support us with the trust they place in TURK LOYDU and wish that the new year to bring success to all of us.

MARINE SECTOR

18

We believe that Turkish maritime sector will cross rough seas and reach to calm ports in 2019. As Turk Loydu Maritime Sector, we will continue supporting our stakeholders by working harder during this period.2018 has been a challenging year for the global trade and maritime sector that serves as a driving force for the global trade. Especially with global trade wars we experienced since the second half of the year and slowdown encountered with Turkey’s imports and exports that were affected from this situation, we witnessed decline in marine trade, transportation sectors and port operations. In addition, our country’s shipbuilding sector and shipbuilding industry were adversely affected by the decrease in defence industry projects in our country compared to the past and the failure in achieving the desired levels with the new merchant shipbuilding orders. The fact that the average ship operating costs are higher than 2017 and the freight market remained at low levels during substantial part of 2018 have created additional cost pressure on the ship owners.

As TURK LOYDU, we continued our growth in the maritime sector in 2018 and managed to increase the number of ships registered to our class in both number and tonnage. By the end of 2018, the number of vessels registered under TURK LOYDU increased to 610. We managed to increase the total tonnage of the ships under our class to 941,923 tons. Together with these developments, we made efforts to reduce the average age of our fleet and increase the types of ships in our fleet.

As the awareness on protection of the environment increases in the world, new rules and regulations are introduced in the maritime sector. Many recent regulations, such as new emission control zones, low sulphur fuel requirements, ballast water convention, MLC 2006, Monitoring Reporting and Verification regulations, created changes in the maritime sector with significant impacts. Cyber security concerns also increased with the digitalization and increased use of technology at sea. All these developments resulted in higher costs of average ship operating costs, causing cost pressures on shipowners and ship operators. This impact, partially experienced in 2018, is expected to increase its strength, especially in 2019.

We continue our efforts with all the strength we have within the framework of plans made for achieving one of the biggest strategic targets of TURK LOYDU - becoming an IACS member - the Association of International Class Societies - and an entity recognized by the European Union. Due to the membership criteria changed in the end of 2017, we intend to conclude the delayed membership process in a short period of time. The quality of the services increased in accordance with all IACS standards that were into our systems during the membership process.

On 1 October 2017, IACS updated its membership criteria and identified it as a prerequisite for verification by the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) that the class rules for member organizations and members of the class societies comply with IMO’s Goal Based Building Standards (GBS). GBS, which entered into force on 1 January 2012, requires that all oil tankers and bulk carriers over 150 meters or more constructed on 1 July 2016 or later must comply with the relevant structural requirements of the standard. On March 27, 2018, TURK LOYDU applied to IMO with the support of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and requested class rules to be verified within the scope of GBS; passes all inspection with extraordinary performance and obtained right for submission to IMO MSC Committee. The final decision on the verification of the TURK LOYDU class rules was made with great majority of votes by IMO during the 100th session of the Maritime Safety Committee held at the IMO Headquarters on 4 December 2018, and compliance of TURK LOYDU within the scope of GBS has been approved by IMO. As a result, TURK LOYDU’s rules for the construction of tankers and bulk dry cargo ships above 150 m are overcoming impossible barriers one by one as the first non-IACS member class society having rules approved by IMO.

TURK LOYDU successfully completed the classification services of more than 150 military ships with its 20 years of experience in this field and in 2018, it successfully continued

providing classification services to Turkish Navy and other naval ships in different types and sizes.

In 2018, 4 new built military ship projects were completed and the classification process of several important military ships, including TCG ANADOLU, was successfully continued. The last 4 of the Hercules series high speed boats, a project that was carried out with the cooperation of TURK LOYDU and Ares Shipyard, were delivered to Qatar Coast Guard Command in 2018 and the project was completed.

An agreement was signed between TURK LOYDU and Sefine Shipyard in the end of 2018 in connection with the Classification Services for Sea Supply and Combat Support Ship. The Naval Supply and Combat Support vessel will be able to supply fuel, water, food, spare parts, medical equipment, ammunition to marine vessels owned by Naval Forces Command.

We continue our activities in many countries around the world in the field of military ship classification. The classification agreement for military training ships to be constructed by Adik Shipyard for meeting requirements of Qatar Navy was signed in 2018 and the project is expected to be completed in 2021.

A classification agreement has been executed between Pakistan Defence Production Ministry and Asfat A.S. that was founded under the command of the Ministry of National Defence, for 4 MILGEM Corvettes among which two will be built in Istanbul Military Shipyard Command and two will be built in Pakistan. We continue with our activities without slowing down in order to extend leadership of TURK LOYDU in the field of military ships.

Building operations for Emergency Response and Diving Training Vessels that are built under class of TURK LOYDU and Logistics Support Vessels due for delivery in 2019 are continued successfully under supervision of TURK LOYDU.

We have successfully delivered many new shipbuilding projects and signed new projects within the scope of merchant ships. The last two boats of 4 passenger boats belonging to Dentur Avrasya that started to serve in Istanbul Strait, were delivered and put into service.

“Navtek TK NB02” that is considered as an innovative and important project for TURK LOYDU and for which classification process was initiated in 2018 is classified as battery powered marine vessel that is very rare around the world as it uses Liion batteries as power supply. Ro-Ro passenger ship named ‘Gelibolu’ that has been included in Gestas fleet upon

completion of shipbuilding and classification process in Aksoy Gelibolu Shipyard in 2018 took its place among TURK LOYDU class large passenger ships with a length of 88 metres.

Classification services for Ilhan Yilmaz 3 New type fishing boats that were built in Ustamehmetoğlu Shipyard have been completed in 2018. The ship that is the largest fishing vessel with a length of 50 meters and a width of 17 meters, has been put into service.

Cebi Meleksu Ro-Ro Passenger Ship built in Trabzon Cebi Shipyard with a length of 90 metres and with of 22 metres, for which classification services agreement was signed on December 2018 will be the largest cargo carrier built in the Eastern Black Sea Region.

Increases have been observed with material and product certification projects in quality and quantity with the increase of new construction projects carried out within the scope of TURK LOYDU class services. Type approval certification contracts for new types of diesel engine manufacturers such as MTU, Wartsila, Mitsubishi, Scania, Yanmar and Volvo that are the world’s leading machinery manufacturers, continue in 2018. Type approval certification projects have been completed and type approval certificates have been released for companies such as Caterpiller, Tenmat Ltd, Scania, Baudouin, Shanghai Diesel and Jotun Boya that produce some products that are the most preferred products in the maritime sector.

In 2018, we increased the number and tonnage of the vessels in the TURK LOYDU register and improved the average fleet age and we carried our works to increase the types of ships in our fleet. Fatih,Turkey’s first drilling ship that has a length of 229 metres, began to serve under TURK LOYDU class. We initiated classification process for inclusion of another ship that is identical to this special ship and was added to our country’s

assets by TPAO, into TURK LOYDU class.

We signed a protocol with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to classify integrated floating power plants of Karpowership, owner of the only energy production fleet in the world, with Turkish flags. Pursuant to this protocol, classification services will be provided for new Turkish flagged vessels in the fleet.

According to the performance evaluations performed by Paris MoU, one of the most important performance indicators for service vessels and the world’s first and most important Port State Control regime, TURK LOYDU maintained its position in “High Performance” category in 2018. The fact that we did not experience an arrest attributed to us since 2015 has also been a source of pride for us.

Even though global developments in the world, trade and customs wars, raw materials and energy need directly affect maritime sector, we are hopeful about 2019. Data from the end of the previous year indicates that this year is expected to be a better year than 2018. Markets will be more dynamic with the balancing of the new shipbuilding orders and scrapped ships, works aimed at renewal of Turkish coaster fleet, execution of Ballast Water Agreement and expected increase in scrap tonnage for old marine vessels due to this rule, new regulations to be introduced in connection with SOX-NOX on flue gasses, Tier 3 etc.

In 2019, the Turkish maritime sector will be supported more, and especially the substandard ships will be withdrawn from our waters and the Turkish flag fleet will be renewed and extended. We believe that Turkish maritime sector will cross rough seas and reach to calm ports in 2019. As TURK LOYDU Maritime Sector, we will continue supporting our stakeholders by working harder during this period.

PORT STATE CONTROLSMarine vessels under TURK LOYDU class recorded a historical success with a 3.91% detention rate in the 2018 during surveys of the Paris Port State Control Memorandum. One of the important factors that allowed achievement of this rate is the continuous monitoring of the ships in our fleet and thus achieving high standards. All findings obtained during port state surveys and data obtained during investigation processes were analysed within the scope of monitoring activities, and corrective and preventive actions are taken for marine vessels in our fleet.

35 target marine vessels were identified in the beginning of 2018 and non-programmed survey was performed about these marine vessels during 2018 in order to improve our fleet’s performance during port state controls and pre-determining the problems that may be experienced. These ships achieved successful results during port state controls that were performed in 2018.

Improvement action were taken in connection with Fleet Monitoring and Port State Control Procedures for the purpose of improving the success rate based on the feedback received as a result of evaluations made during the year, and active monitoring of marine vessels were initiated based on additional criteria. Leaving many competitors behind in the Authorized Economic Operators Performance Table that is prepared based on results of surveys performed on marine vessels in the last

three-year period covering 2015-2017 and revised in the website of Paris Port State Control Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), TURK LOYDU ranked among the top 9 “High Performance” class societies in the list where it appeared for the last 12-year period.

Positioned at the 9th rank in the High Performance Table of Paris MoU, TURK LOYDU left many reputable class societies as well as some assertive IACS (International Association of Class Societies) members behind with its high quality standards and superior service performance, it proved its position as High Performance Class Society in Paris MoU to the rest of the world. Paris Port State Control Memorandum of Understanding is recognized as one of the world’s first and most important port state control regimes, which oversee compliance with international rules in many areas such as safe management of marine vessels, safety of life and property at sea and marine pollution. Marine vessels in the fleet of TURK LOYDU are subjected to less frequent surveys in the ports of Paris MoU member states as a result of the experience and expertise of TURK LOYDU in connection with port state controls and its announcement as “High Performance” organization by Paris MoU.

An Intensive Audit Campaign was organized within the scope of Marpol Annex VI (air pollution) by Paris and Tokyo Port State Control Memorandum of Understanding. TURK LOYDU and the Turkish Maritime Administration provided preliminary

Statistical works and analyses were performed on surveyed and arrested marine vessels in 2018 within the scope of PSC Annual Report. As a result,

we were able to improve the quality of the ships in our fleet by taking corrective and preventive actions in order to eliminate the shortcomings. In addition, the Port State Controls Booklet was prepared, providing information on items that the ship personnel could self-inspect before they commencement of the port state controls. This allowed the ships in our fleet to get ready before the inspection.

HISTORICAL SUCCESS OF TURK LOYDU IN IMOTURK LOYDU, undersigned an important accomplishment for Turkey in the International Maritime Organization (IMO). TURK LOYDU’s Class Rules were discussed at the 100th session of the Maritime Safety Committee, one of the most important committees of IMO, and Turk Loydu was approved in accordance with the GBS (Goal Based Ship Construction Standards). TURK LOYDU was the first organization outside IACS whose rules were verified by IMO.

According to the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) implementation of the GBS, the rules of the relevant body must be inspected and verified by the IMO in order to classify the newly built Oil Tankers and Bulk Carriers over 150 meters or more. Until the present date, only IACS members were authorized within the scope of GBS.

On March 27, 2018, TURK LOYDU applied to IMO with the support of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and requested class rules to be verified within the scope of GBS; passes all inspection with extraordinary performance and obtained right for submission to IMO MSC Committee.

The final decision regarding the verification of TURK LOYDU class rules was made in the Maritime Safety Committee meeting that was held at IMO Headquarters on 3 December 2018. It was made by majority of the vote of members and IMO approved the compliance of TURK LOYDU within the scope of GBS.

As a result of the joint efforts of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and TURK LOYDU became the first non-IACS member class society approved by IMO in connection with rules on building tanker and bulk cargo ships above 150 m in the historical MSC 100 session of IMO. This success has once again revealed the importance of joint efforts as well as reputation and effectiveness of the Administration.

What is GBS (Goal Based Ship Construction Standards)?The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) meeting of the International Maritime Organization was held in May 2010. GBS standards were accepted in the Annual Meeting. These rules that entered into force on 1 January 2012, requires that all oil tankers and bulk carriers over 150 meters or more constructed on 1 July 2016 or later must comply with the relevant structural requirements of the Goal Based Ship Construction Standards. Classification rules for bulk carriers and oil tankers of class societies must be surveyed and verified by MSC under the International Maritime Organization in accordance with GBS standards.

Is GBS required to become a member of IACS?The Association of International Association of Class Societies (IACS) has updated its membership criteria on 1 October 2017 and introduced a prerequisite for verification, requiring that existing members and class societies intending to become a member should be verified in accordance with GBS (Goal Based Ship Construction Standards).

TURK LOYDU is the only non-IACS member organization with Classification Rules approved by IMO MSC; therefore, it met the most important criteria for IACS membership and covered a long distance on the way to become a member.

RULE DEVELOPMENT AND STATUTORY LEGISLATIONIn 2018, Rule Development and Statutory Legislation Division continued to revise TURK LOYDU’s rules and applications in accordance with the amendments in international and national rules. Long term rule development projects of Naval Ships and Passenger Craft in cabotage service were also continued and a new long term project for the revision and development of Offshore Units was initiated under the coordination of this divison in the end of 2018.

TURK LOYDU revises its rules at least twice a year in accordance with the amendments in international rules, standards and feedbacks received from the sector. Following rules were revised and published in 2018:

44


In addition to these rules, two additional rules were also revised.

Amendments to the international rules, Fuel Consumption Data Collection System that is particularly important in 2018, finalized 2020 sulphur limit practice, amendments to rules of TURK LOYDU and other developments were announced in 16 newsletters prepared for the maritime sector.

TURK LOYDU maintained research and development activities in 2018 and two project applications were accepted within the scope of Europe Union Erasmus+ (MarED, Maritime Education for Energy Efficiency, SKILLsPATH, Skills beyond the Seas). In addition to these new projects, in 2018, TURK LOYDU continued the NEO-COL and SEAMAP Erasmus + projects.

MEETINGS AND VISITSTURK LOYDU actively participated in international meetings, particularly the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Meetings, in 2018 and continued to inform the sector with its preliminary and final meeting reports and newsletters. In 2018, TURK LOYDU representatives were participated the IMO PPR 5, SDC 5,

SSE5 sub-committee meetings and IMO MSC 99, 100 and MEPC 72, 73 main committee meetings. TURK LOYDU also continued its participation to INSA (International Naval Safety Association) which develops Naval Ship Code (ANEP-77) and Naval Submarine Code with an aim of setting requirements of safety of life and its equipment of naval ships in peace conditions in a goal based manner. Turk Loydu maintained its contributions to “Chapter III Stability WG and Chapter VI Fire correspondence WG” INSA working groups in 2018. TURK LOYDU is also one of the member of NSCA (Naval Ship Classification Association) constituted by seven class societies operating in the naval field.constituted by seven class societies operating in the naval field.

In 2018, we continued providing services by extending our domestic and international geographical field in parallel with our service range particularly including energy, construction, mining, chemicals, transportation and logistics sectors.

INDUSTRY AND CERTIFICATION SECTOR

48

In parallel with the rapid change in technology and digitalization, the relative increase in the standard of living and the reliability of the products and services in line with the increasing consumer expectations gained more importance than ever. In the beginning of the 2000s, more in house certification processes were applied to ensure product safety, and nowadays conformity assessment bodies play a role in conformity assessment without any discrimination between sectors. Each day, the standards in the voluntary area are replaced by the legislations taking standards as reference, and the evaluation criteria become more conservative. There is only one objective for this process of change: Offering safe products to end users.

Despite the positive developments in the sector, the stagnation in the global economy, decline in growth figures from two digits to single digit compared to the same period of the previous year, increase in competition and the violation of trademark rights with counterfeit products despite legal regulations, and serious hazards of unsafe products in terms safety of life and environment affect all aspects of our life. The acceleration of the e-commerce volume with digitalization makes it inevitable to take effective measures to combat counterfeit products. The reason why the conformity assessment should be carried out by independent organizations is clearly stated in the following research results.


Ayfer ADIGÜZELDirector, Industry and Certification Sector

Inspections performed by CEOC and IFIA on 800 samples from electrical devices offered in US market in 2016 (hair dryer, shaving machine, tablet, drone, etc.) that should bear CE-mark showed that on average, 80% of the producers (87% for tablets, 92% for drones) do not meet the applicable standard requirements, and 16% of nonconforming products pose risk for life. In other words, very significant proportion of the products offered to the market based on manufacturer’s declaration are not in line with product standards and they are life-threatening. Market surveillance and audits will also make the need for the conformity assessment sector more visible as a result of conscious customer preferences.

Despite shrinkage in the economic figures in the world and in our country, we have carried out intensive efforts in 2018 with all our team members in order to reach our goals without compromising our quality in accordance with TURK LOYDU brand value which reached to 57 years we as an industry sector have carried. We continued our efforts to ensure that the TURK LOYDU brand, one of the first in our country in the field of conformity assessment, reach a wider customer base. We focused on promotion and sales activities in order to ensure the effective promotion of our services to the sector.

For the purpose of our digitalization project that was initiated in order to improve our business processes, we started to produce reports and documents in electronic environment to ensure that our customers can access their reports and documents in a fast and reliable environment. Upon completion of the project, we will ensure that all relevant reports are submitted to our customers in electronic environment upon completion of the relevant works. In 2019, we will continue our digitalization efforts at the same rate.

We initiated the “Lean Management” project that focuses on respect to people and continuous development in order to create value from the point of view of our customers, eliminate the costs arising from the non-necessary business processes, and produce services in a faster and more convenient conditions. The project we initiated with the Lean Institute is an important and long-term project that will turn change process of our company into a transition process. We are maintaining our activities with the effort and active participation of all colleagues. We will continue our project in 2019.

Another critical business goal in transforming our journey of change into achievement of consistent position was to train effective leader. For this purpose, we started the “Leadership” training project with a corporate company for our managers.

We aim to increase the competencies of our managers on a wide range of topics at the end of the nine-month project implemented with competent trainers and mentors. We already started getting good outcomes. We will continue our project in 2019.

Services included to our portfolio in 2018 are as follows:

We, as TURK LOYDU, were recognised by the National Safety Authority as an Assessing Entity to perform conformity assessments against OTIF UTPs and as a Designated Body to perform conformity assessments against national technical rules for the rolling stock sub-system.

We have started to provide a wide range of training, inspection and certification services from infrastructure to signalization, locomotive driver training, TSI certification, in the railway sector.

We obtained “Nuclear Power Construction Inspection Body Authorization” from TAEK on 16.03.2018 in accordance


51

with provisions of the Regulation on Inspection of Nuclear Power Plants, in order to provide conformity assessment (test, inspection and certification) services for safe installation and operation of nuclear power plants in our country particularly including Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in accordance with the applicable legislation and standards. For this purpose, conformity assessment activities related with Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant Project Western Cargo Terminal are carried out by our competent team.

We continue providing services by adding professional groups for construction sector to the scope of authorization “Authorized Certification Body” we received from the Vocational Qualification Authority (MYK). In addition, each year, we carry out the personnel certification of approximately 2,000 employees working in welded manufacturing with TURKAK personnel certification accreditation. In 2018, with MYK authorization and TURKAK accreditation, we certified 3200 persons who successfully passed exams.

We continued our efforts in 2018 to develop international cooperation in line with our goal of becoming a power in the region in industrial conformity assessment services. International Confederation of Inspection and Certification Organizations (CEOC International) where we are a member merged with the International Federation of Inspection Associations (IFIA) that provides services at global scale, and formed Testing, Inspection Certification Council (TIC Council)that is a new international organization representing third party verification, in order to penetrate potential markets and closely follow sectoral developments in the international market of conformity assessment. TIC Council formed in Brussel upon merger of global TIC sector organizations, IFIA and CEOC during extraordinary general assembly meeting we attended on 13 December 2018 became the representative of 90 member companies and organizations operating in the field of testing, inspection and certification on a global scale. By taking an active role in the technical committees of the umbrella organizations that we are a member of, we are able to transfer

the technical developments in our service area to our business processes and our stakeholders in the industry.

We took a role in committees for localization efforts under the umbrella of Defence and Aerospace Cluster Association- SAHA Istanbul where we are member and that takes a catalyser role for improving capabilities of the sector in increasing local products’ share in defence industry investments. Our goal is to take a role in solution of the aerospace industry certification requirements of our country, together with the national certification bodies. As the first phase of the process, we organized our first training about the Quality Management System standard for AS 9100:2016 Aerospace and Defence Organizations. We had the opportunity to give information on our service range to actors in the sector by participating in Saha expo fair and conference event organized by SAHA Istanbul. Our aim is to ensure that training and conformity assessment needs of the defence industry are met within the national boundaries without any security risk.

In addition, we attended various sectoral fairs particularly including 5th Nuclear Power Plant Summit and Highways, Bridges and Tunnels Fair. We also visited many sectoral fair organizations as a visitor to follow the developments in the sector. In 2019, with our confidence in our business culture and goals in line with our strategic objectives, we are aiming to strengthen brand value of Turk Loydu further, increase the range of our products, extent the market and maintain conformity assessment services required by our sector and work towards our goal of becoming a power in our country and region by offering innovative services.

We owe continuous diversification and improvement of our conformity assessment services to our qualified human resources, customer-driven digitalization, accelerated business processes, making investments necessary for continuous improvement, and most importantly, trust placed by our customers.

On this occasion, I would like to thank all colleagues for maintaining the sense of commitment at the highest level with the righteous pride of being a TURK LOYDU employee, working diligently and showing effort and confidence towards achieving our goals.

I would like to express my gratitude to our customers and stakeholders who have strengthened us, contributed to our development and showed support in addition to the trust they placed in brand value of TURK LOYDU, and I hope we continue producing together in the new year.

OVERVIEWTURK LOYDU Foundation was established in 27 February 1962 by UCTEA Chamber of Naval Architects and Marine Engnieers (Turkish), during the first general assembly meeting held in Galata Passenger Hall with the participation of 31 members including delegates of Turkish Union of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies, External Marine Voyages Association, Istanbul Chamber of Industry, Maritime Bank, Eregli Demir ve Celik Fabrikasi T.A.S., Ministry of Trade and Istanbul Technical University.

In the first General Assembly of TURK LOYDU Foundation, Chairman of the Entrepreneurs’ Standing Committee Zeyyad Parlar underlined the importance and duties of Turk Loydu as follows: “Turk Loydu will not be any different than other reputable class societies. TURK LOYDU will be based on two principles. One of them is technique and knowledge and the other one is reliability and impartiality. The principles have been designed accordingly so that the establishment does not deflect from these two ways. TURK LOYDU will endeavour to be the most reliable advisor of insurers, shipowners and motor owners, shipbuilders and repairers, relevant government authorities. TURK LOYDU will be the most favoured stakeholder of these enterprises in connection with technical matters. It will be technical and knowledgeable companion they can trust in case of any problem they may encounter.”

TURK LOYDU Foundation overcame the most important obstacle by becoming “nationally recognized classification society” in 1981 as a result of its efforts made since 60s for becoming a recognized organization.

As the TURK LOYDU Foundation grew, more space was needed for operations and in 1996, the foundation moved from the Tophane building to Tuzla Shipyards Zone. Vision of TURK LOYDU is to become the most favoured classification and certification body in the international arena with the power we take from the rules, information and expertise we generate. For

this purpose, pursuing the objective of technical improvement in maritime and industry, Turk Loydu serves to this objective of foundation with nearly 170 employees and representatives in various parts of the World and Turkey. The position attained today since classification of a small service ship named Camialti is very important for TURK
