uct services that are separately defined as mooring services rendered in
marinas and boat parks, boatyard field services markets, and field leas-
ing services markets.
The Geographical Market with regard to Mooring Services
Rendered in Marinas and Boat Parks:
Beta Marina, which is one of
the companies subject to transfer within the scope of the transaction, is
the operator of Istanbul City Port Marina in Istanbul; Göcek Village
Port Marina, and Göcek Exclusive Marina, all of which are located in
the Aegean region. The geographical market analysis with regard to
such marinas has been separately considered. For the Istanbul City
Port, the relevant geographical market has been defined as the “
dis-
tricts of Adalar, Ataşehir, Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Çekmeköy, Kadıköy,
Kağıthane, Kartal, Maltepe, Pendik, Sancaktepe, Sultanbeyli, Şişli,
Tuzla, Ümraniye and Üsküdar,
” and for Göcek Village Port Marina and
Göcek Exclusive Marina, it has been defined as the “
Aegean and
Mediterranean Sea coastal line.
” However, a specific determination of
the relevant geographical market was found to be unnecessary since a
narrow determination would not substantially change the evaluation of
concentration.
The Geographical Market with regard to Boatyard Field
Services:
For Istanbul City Port Marina, the relevant geographical mar-
ket has been determined as “
the cities bordering the Marmara Sea.
”
On the other hand, since the assessment would not be affected by dif-
ferent determinations of the relevant geographical market, a specific
determination of the relevant geographical market was deemed unnec-
essary for these marines in terms of the boatyard field services.
The Geographical Market with regard to Field Leasing Services:
Although the definition of the relevant geographical market has been
considered as “
Turkey,
” a specific determination of the relevant geo-
graphical market was deemed unnecessary since even a narrow city-
based or side-based determination for Istanbul would not affect the
concentration evaluation.
Evaluation of Concentration
The Board has severally addressed the evaluation of concentration,
separately, in terms of the relevant product market:
