The story
The company was established in 1992 as a subsidiary of İzmir Municipality. In 1999, it was renamed as İzdeniz. In 2000, 104 staff members as well as 11 ferries (8 for the passengers and 3 for the vehicles) were handed over to İzdeniz from the TDİ (Turkish Sea Enterprise, a governmental company) which was responsible in ferry communication in the Gulf of İzmir up to 2000. After 2000 three ferries went out of service.
