aktarma

Aktarma is a Turkish noun meaning transfer or transshipment, derived from the verb aktarmak (to transfer, to relay). It denotes the act of moving something from one place, vehicle, or step to another and is used across several domains.

In transportation, aktarma describes changing vehicles or lines to continue a journey. A transfer typically occurs at a designated transfer point or station, and may be described within the context of a single fare system. In railway and metro networks, an aktarma istasyonu or transfer station is where passengers switch routes to reach their destination.

In logistics, aktarma refers to the transshipment of goods at a hub, moving cargo from one carrier or mode to another. This process often occurs at container terminals or intermodal facilities and may involve handling, sorting, and storage for the next leg of the shipment.

In banking and finance, aktarma is used to describe funds transfer or remittance, the process of moving money from one account or institution to another, domestically or internationally.

The term also appears in broader usage to denote the relay or forwarding of information, signals, or energy in technical or everyday contexts. Overall, aktarma centers on the idea of passing something along from an origin to a next link in a chain.
