Background
The first ferry services in the Gulf of İzmir were launched in February 1884 by the İzmir Hamidiye Ferry Company.[1][2][3] The piers used in those years were wooden.[2] According to the data of 1915, the Konak-Karşıyaka line was used by 1,100,000 people annually, while 900,000 passengers were carried between Konak and Güzelyalı.[2] The Belgians, who bought the company shares in 1908, changed the name of the company.[2] In 1925, a public company called İzmir Port and Gulf Affairs took over the transportation business.[2] Later, Turkish Maritime Organization became responsible for transport in the gulf.[2][4] At that time, sixty daily services were organized on six lines.[4] İzmir Metropolitan Municipality took over the transportation business in 2000.[4] Today, the company named İzdeniz established by the municipality provides transportation in the gulf.[4] As of 2018, there are nine active ferry quays in the gulf.[5] In 2015, 14,392,982 passengers were carried.[6]
