Ukraine to Turkey Ferry with Bike

As part of a round trip to Turkey from the UK I would like to take a ferry from ideally Odessa to Istanbul.
I know there is a passenger ferry on this route, does anyone know of a vehicle ferry or convenient cargo service that would take the bike and maybe the rider and pillion?
Thanks.

It is now almost three years since I thought about that, but either Lonely Planet Russia or the Lonely Planet Eastern Europe mentions Ferries from either Odessa or Sokcho (although that would be Russia) to either Trabzon or Istanbul - IIRC

Sorry, this won't help much - maybe check the thorntree-forum, too?

I seached in google and found this company. (SERVICE: FERRY SERVICE) In its website, it says their ship has a big cargo deck which can hold 50 cars. I dont know it is the only company or not. You can call them and get more info about it.

Hope this helps and if there are any problems in contacting them, let me know I can call their Turkey Office and ask what you want to know them.

Ozgur.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
