Four years ago, Ay returned to Turkey and helped Mid-Ship open a chartering and logistics office in Istanbul. Mid-Ship credits Ay for growing and diversifying its activities in Turkey, including agency work in the Bosphorus and coordinating activities with Mid-Ship's Turkish surveying company Marine Inspection and Logistics.
