The fires at the Port of Iskenderun have been contained, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality said on Twitter.
The municipality said that fire continues to burn, but is no longer spreading, adding that it is expected to be fully extinguished over the next 24 hours.
The port is located about 60 miles from the epicentre of the earthquake. Turkish private news agency DHA reported earlier in the day that the sea water rose 200 metres inland in the port city of Iskenderun in Hatay province.
