Körfez Ulaştırma A.Ş. is an open access railway company operating freight rail service between Körfez, Kocaeli and Kırıkkale in Turkey.[1][2] The railway carries liquid fuel between the refineries in Körfez and Hacılar (just south of Kırıkkale) on tracks owned by the Turkish State Railways. Körfez Ulaştırma is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tüpraş, the largest liquid-fuel producer in Turkey.

The company ordered 7 diesel/electric hybrid locomotives from Stadler and should be delivered in 2021.[3]
