Questions

How many public holidays does Türkiye have in 2026?

Türkiye has 14 nationwide public holidays in 2026; the next one is New Year's Day on 1 January 2027.

How many working days are there in Türkiye in 2026?

251 working days, counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and excluding the 14 national public holidays.

Do public holidays count as demurrage free days in Türkiye?

Usually yes — most carriers count free time in calendar days, including weekends and holidays. If your tariff or contract says working days, holidays and weekends are excluded and the last free day moves later. The Shyppy demurrage calculator can count either way.
