Haifa is Israel’s
Haifa is Israel’s largest port, situated on its northern Mediterranean coast.
It was managed by the state-owned Haifa Port Company, but to boost competition and bring about efficiency, the government rolled out privatisation reforms.
In July 2022, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (India) and Israel’s Gadot Group won the tender to operate the port under a long-term concession.
This consortium was a significant step in transforming Haifa into a major international port with improved infrastructure, digital operations and expanded trade and opportunities.
Haifa Port handles about 20 million tons of cargo annually, and its container throughput exceeds 1 million TEUs per year, making it the busiest container port in Israel until recently, when Ashdod and the new Bayport started sharing the load.
Port Facilities
Within the port is a basin spanning 1,066,000 m2, comprising the main port and Kishon Harbour, towards the eastern side. The land area covers more than 4,500,000 m2.
